Hepatocyte

Hepatocytes are the main functional cells of the liver, making up about 70% of its mass. They perform vital roles such as producing bile to help digest fats, processing nutrients from food, detoxifying harmful substances, and storing essential vitamins and minerals. These cells work continuously to maintain the body's chemical balance and support overall health. Hepatocytes are highly adaptable and efficient, capable of regenerating after injury, which is crucial for liver repair and recovery. Their proper function is essential for digestion, metabolism, and detoxification processes that sustain life.
