43. The role of the liver in the digestive system is to:

Assist in the mechanical breakdown of fats 1. Site of filtrate formation. 2. Site that drains the distal convoluted tubule. 3. Blood supply that directly receives substances from the tubular cells. 4. Site at which most of the tubular reabsorption occurs 5. ) Low pressure, porous vessels that reabsorb solutes and water from the tubule cells 6. ) High pressure vessel that forces fluid and solutes into the glomerular capsule. 7. May form meandering vessels or bundles of long straight vessels. 8. ) Play a role in urine concentration. 9. Fenestrated vessels that allow passage of all plasma elements but not blood cells. 10.
