Question

Liver gland secretes
A) Pancreatic Juice
B) Bile juice
C) Gastric Juice
D) Various digestive juice

Answer 1

Hint: The liver is an organ found only in vertebrates which detoxifies various metabolites, synthesises proteins and produces biochemicals that are needed for digestion and growth.

Complete Answer:
- In humans, the liver is found below the diaphragm, in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. His other metabolism functions include controlling the accumulation of glycogen, decomposing red blood cells and releasing hormones.
- The liver is an accessory digestive organ producing bile, an alkaline fluid containing cholesterol and bile acids that help break down the fat. The gallbladder, a small pouch that sits just below the liver, stores bile formed by the liver that is transferred to the small intestine for full digestion afterwards.
- Highly specialised tissue in the liver, composed mainly of hepatocytes, regulates a broad range of high-volume biochemical reactions, including the synthesis and breakdown of small and complex molecules, several of which are required for normal vital functions.
- How to compensate for the loss of liver function in the long term is not yet understood, though techniques of liver dialysis may be used in the short term. Artificial livers are yet to be produced, in the absence of the liver, to facilitate long-term replacement. As of 2018, the only treatment for full liver failure is liver transplantation.

So the answer is option ‘B’ i.e Bile Juice.

Note: Bile is a complex fluid that includes water, electrolytes and a battery of organic molecules, including bile acids, cholesterol, phospholipids and bilirubin, which passes through the small intestine via the biliary tract.
