Anatomy The largest solid organ in the body is the liver. Also known as a gland, it is responsible for bile secretion. Located in the upper right quadrant it is protected by the rib cage. The liver is responsible for bile secretion, removal of toxic byproducts, preventing nutrient shortages by storing vitamins, breaking down nutrients from food to convert them into energy, producing substances to regulate clotting of blood and removal of bacteria from the blood to fight infection.
