The liver is the largest gland in the body, weighing ahout 11 lbs. and is situated in the abdominal cavity on the right side and well forward against the diaphragm. It manufactures about 12 lbs. of bile in 24 hours. The liver shows four fairly distinct lobes, namedâthe left, right, middle, and Spigelian. The liver is enclosed in a strong capsule called Glisson's capsule. The cow has a gall-bladder, but the horse has none and the bile flows more or less constantly into the intestine. The bile aids somewhat in digestion of fats. It has also a slight cathartic effect: it aids absorption and tends to prevent putrefaction. The liver cells convert sugar from the blood into animal starch (glycogen), and store it up as such and finally they reconvert this glycogen into soluble sugar and give it out to the blood in proportion as the blood loses its FIG. 23.
