You can see the hearts behind the lungs pumping your blood.

The liver is this brownish organ.

It's on the right side of your body, right under your ribs.

It's quite large.

And it's an amazing organ.

It is quite big.

It processes much of what any kind of toxins that we take in, things that we eat, your glucose, alcohol, 90% of it's metabolized by the liver.

So the liver is sort of the clearinghouse, getting rid of byproducts in your body.

The other are the kidneys, but the liver plays a huge role, especially in alcohol.

So it sits right here.

Yeah, yeah, it is.

Yeah, it's a giant organ.

And it's an amazing organ.

So you can actually cut out 80% of the liver and it would regrow itself.

So kind of like those lizards that you cut off their tail and they regenerate a tail.

The liver is fascinating.

It's why we can do living liver transplant.

So I could take half of your liver and give it to someone who needed a liver.

You would still be able to live and they would get a second chance at life from that part of your liver.

So it's this really cool organ that can regenerate.
