Explore what each area does and the conditions that can affect it.
Liver
Your liver filters your blood, processes hormones and medicines, and makes bile to digest fat.

Your brain, spinal cord, and nerves carry every signal in your body, from movement and sensation to mood and memory.
Digestive tract
