convert toxic substances to harmless ones
17. The liver blood capillaries are:

involved in the exocrine function (3) the biliar hepatocyte pole faces the bile canaliculi (4)
the biliar pole is involved in the endocrine function
25. The endocrine hepatocyte function includes the secretion into the blood the
following
substances:
(1) albumins and nonimmune globulins (2) prothrombin and fibrinogen (3) cholesterol (4)
glucose released by hydrolysis of glycogen
