I need help with finding at least 200 functions of the liver. I can only find about 10 from my books/i've tried google.
Anybody know a site or book that could be helpful ?

google: list 200 functions of the liver and you'll get many sites
Thank you all for these info. (they're actually the same ones i'm talkin about) i need to find 200 of them. The google sites lists the 10 most important ones of the 200 but none of the sites lists all of them.

Check with one of the internal medicine doctors in your area and ask for information (perhaps he/she would let you borrow one of their reference books). Also, if there is a health science library nearby, consult the medical textbooks.

This page has many liver function links and each link has more links, maybe you could at least get 30-40 functions from this-
