The liver, with a weight of 1.5 km in the human body, is equivalent to 1/36 of the size of an adult body, but it forms d. Muhammad Bakhatmeh is an associate professor at the College of Medicine, meaning that our livers are smaller relative to the size of our bodies when we are born, and if the liver continues with the same degree of growth as it is in the fetus, then this means liver cancer, there is a hormone responsible for giving signals to liver cells to stop growing and dividing after birth, but it leaves It has the opportunity to replace or rebuild itself, so the liver consists of approximately eight-shaped cells, each group forming a section in a factory that receives raw materials from the blood through the veins and venous capillaries entering the liver and pumps its production into the venous capillaries and the veins emerging from it, in addition to industries Raw materials and recycling waste that is sent through the bile ducts to the digestive system to digest food, which is what we call bile.
1.5 liters of blood passes from the liver every minute for the purpose of extracting raw materials, purification, or making raw materials for the body, and this means that during the life of a person who is about 60 years old, he has dealt with 60 x 12 x 30 x 24 x 60 x 1.5 liters of Blood means 46,656,000 forty-six million and a half liters of blood, equivalent to 46,656 cubic meters of blood, knowing that the cubic meter is 6 barrels, and in order to be close to reality, the liver of a 60-year-old person would have dealt with what Equivalent to producing a week of crude oil in Saudi Arabia.
The liver is a chemical factory that does not stop for twenty-four hours throughout the life of a person, carrying out burdens (production, storage, recycling, distribution) - for huge numbers of nutrients needed for the health of the human body.
If a company that manufactures chemicals wants to establish a chemical factory that performs the same activities and functions as the liver, it needs a plot of land of several hectares to manufacture the simple chemicals produced by the liver, and the complex is impossible to do in this factory, and the company needs a factory built on 50,000 square meters of land to establish A factory that carries out simple liver functions, meaning 72 plots of land in a plot of 700 square meters each.
The liver manufactures glucose and proteins as raw raw materials for the whole body, and it also produces the main raw materials needed for blood clotting and the raw materials needed for the manufacture of hormones, and the liver removes toxic materials from the blood, and breaks down complex materials such as fats into primary units to make it easier to deal with in the rest Parts of the body, whether by digestion, excretion, or otherwise, and it stores iron and vitamins, and produces a large number of enzymes responsible for the processes of absorption or disposal of chemicals that swim in the blood, and the liver neutralizes the toxicity of many substances and chemical wastes resulting from the digestion of food, or Even those entering the body other than through food, such as those entering through polluted air, toxins entering through the skin, or alcohol, for example, or smoking.
And the liver neutralizes these toxins by modifying their chemical form, and thus transforming them into less harmful substances or even beneficial substances, such as what happens in the bile that digests fats. The neutralization process of a single harmful substance may require more than a hundred chemical steps that require more than 50 enzymes that the liver performs this complex process almost daily and over the course of twenty-four hours. Indeed, stress sometimes generates toxins that the liver has to deal with .. How? When there is a psychological or emotional stimulus or fatigue, there are hormones that are secreted in a greater quantity than the normal range, for example, constant staying up late makes the body compelled to secrete large quantities of the hormone adrenaline - if accompanied by severity and psychological pressure, and this leads to a large amount of waste resulting from its chemical processes, and this means Increased burden on the liver.
The liver excretes a large part of waste in the form of bile, and the liver produces the equivalent of one liter per day. Just envision a factory that deals with 1.5 liters per minute, and produces waste of 1 liter per day, meaning that the percentage of use for the proportion of waste is 2000-1, despite the fact that This utmost hygiene, this liter of waste has a benefit in digestion and excretion, in the life of a 60-year-old person the liver would have made 60 x 12/30 liters of bile, that is, 21,600 liters of bile juice needed to digest fats, and excrete waste products through urine and feces , Bile moves from the place of its production in the liver cells to a place where it is stored or discharged into the duodenum through well-made networks of tubes, just like the branches of a tree start very small at the top and end large at the bottom, so the single trunk of a tree is a gathering of hundreds of thousands of small branches in the sense that Not only that, bile travels through an extremely complex network of tubes, but it only travels in one direction although it comes from multiple and different directions, just envision a network of tubes with the complexity of one tree and each branch flows in one direction Without blockage and without backflow, without influence of gravity or a specific position, and then there are factors that determine when the main valve for the drain is opened and when it is closed to fill the storage tank (gallbladder), noting that the storage tank is opened only in response to the call to digest fats in the duodenum, and not anywhere .
This chemical industrial city produces 50,000 enzymes needed for vital processes of digestion, it repeats millions of liters of blood, storing and making materials for energy and neutralizing toxins.
What is the meaning of the above meaning, dear reader
When you eat an egg, remember that a whole industrial city helps you to eat this egg, and there are patients who mean that eating one egg is extremely dangerous because their livers cannot deal with the proteins in it, when you prick a thorn from a flower, or when you sew the buttons of your dress and get injured By pricking a needle, a of blood appears, and then this poke disappears, the reason is blood clotting and blocking the hole in the tube apparatus that delivers blood from one place to another, and remembering that blood clotting was causing the blood coagulants produced by the industrial city, and remembering that there are patients of a certain type that cause stinging A fork or cutting a small knife while making a plate of salad is a difficult problem that may kill them, when you give your son a vaccine against smallpox or polio, which means that your son will not be infected with one of these deadly diseases - this means that the industrial city has manufactured specialized antiviruses for viruses or bacteria such as diseases. And in the event that it enters the body, it will be eliminated immediately and relentlessly, when you make a mistake and take an overdose of medicine, the Industrial City will calculate the amount you need and then get rid of the rest immediately, but when you need the hormone puberty (whether for masculinity or femininity) The industrial city is ready to provide you with the raw materials to manufacture the hormone that controls the tone of your voice, the distribution of your body hair and the distribution of fat in different areas of your body.
When you are fasting in Ramadan or you cannot find food, and in spite of that the vital processes of your body perform all their functions and perfectly well - this is because of the Industrial City''s stock of fuel called glycogen, which is stored for times when glucose is not available, which is the only fuel for the body, when We lift a heavy object with great muscle effort, or even when you have to flee from a person attacking you or attacking a person to defend yourself, for example - the energy in the muscles is stored fuel that has been stored with the help of enzymes produced in the industrial city, there are many very many and the above are only examples of what It happens, this huge industrial city that lies under the rib cage on the upper side of the abdomen of every human being in us, as for how what we talked about happens, things are very complicated and this field is not its field, and it is so complex that there are hundreds of thousands of researches, and hundreds of international research centers Specialized in the case.
Dear reader
Before I conclude, let me mention one fact, which is that the liver can compensate for up to 75% of what has been lost from it, if there is 25% of it, and this ability is only what gave the way for a full specialty in medicine, which is liver surgery, and without this tremendous ability to rebuild it would not be possible Performing a single operation in the liver, such as removing a tumor or cancer, or even removing an invalid part, like what happens after a car injury.
Doesn''t this factory deserve that we perform our duty towards it by
Not drinking alcohol, not smoking, not excessive in useless foods such as McDonald''s meals? And, most importantly of all, is it not worth what we have previously said to contemplate saying the truth - Blessed and Exalted be He: (And if you count the grace of God, do not count it) (Ibrahim 34) Praise be to God whenever we eat delicious delicious food, let us thank Him - Glory be to Him - that we are still alive after tens or even hundreds of pricks and wounds, and perhaps operations due to the blessing of blood clotting. .
