The liver is especially sensitive
to carbon tetrachloride since it
contains a large amount of the
enzymes that change the form of the chemical.
Some of the breakdown products may attack cell proteins, interfering with the functions of the liver cells. Products that attack cell membranes
may result in the death of the cells. In mild cases, the liver becomes swollen and tender, and fat builds up inside the organ. In severe cases, liver
cells may be damaged or destroyed, leading to adecrease in liver function. Such effects are usually reversible if exposure is not too high or too
long
