liver-ga,
I've compiled a list of resources on the liver for your consideration.
Most of the resources below are from the US government, and are in the
public domain. Anyone can use or modify materials created by
government agencies as they see fit.
HOWEVER, if a government site links to another, non-governmental site,
then please be aware that the non-governmental site is NOT public
domain material.
Most of the sites cover a variety of topics, from a basic overview of
the liver and its functions, to various diseases and their treatments.
For that reason, I did not compile the sites according to the topics
you mentioned. But I did identify for each site the main topics
discussed at the site, which should make your perusal of them very
straigtforward.
In addition to US government sites, I also included the Wikipedia site
on the liver, and information about it public use licensing.
I trust this information will fully meet your needs, but if there's
anything else you want, let me know by posting a Request for
Clarification, and I'll be happy to assist you further.
