Liver is the largest gland and is associated with various functions, choose one which is not correct. (a) Metabolism of carbohydrate                               (b) Digestion of fat (c) Formation of bile                                                       (d) Secretion of hormone called gastrin

Answer:

                (d) Liver is involved in the production of bile (hepatic bile pH is 8.6). Bile helps in the digestion of fats in the small intestine by the emulsification process (conversion of large fat droplets into small ones). Liver also plays a critical role in controlling rate metabolism by maintaining glucose concentration in normal range. Gastrin is secreted by G-cells in pyrolic region of stomach. It stimulates gastric glands to secrete and release gastric juices.
