*Again, the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] is liable to injury from many causes and this is especially the case for a number of reasons
**''position''
***the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] acts as a second barrier between the non-sterile intestinal contents and the systemic circulation
***is exposed to viruses, bacterial toxins, and poisons absorbed from the portal blood
**''energy requirements''
***relatively enormous amounts of energy are utilised by [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] cells and this renders them more vulnerable to anoxia and toxaemia
**''detoxification''
***the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] acts as a detoxifying organ and may suffer in consequence
