what does the liver do? select all that apply. it breaks down toxins in the blood. it stores solid waste before it is released from the body. it produces insulin, a hormone that helps regulate the bodys glucose level. it detects changes to the bodys environment, such as temperature. it stores urine before it is released from the body.
The liver is an important organ that detoxifies the blood by breaking down toxins. It does not store solid waste (that's the rectum's job), does not produce insulin (the pancreas does), does not detect environmental - related changes like temperature (sensory organs do), and does not store urine (the bladder does). Only the statement about breaking down toxins in the blood is correct.
