Question

The stool of a person contains whitish-grey color due to malfunction of which type of organ?
(a) Pancreas
(b) Spleen
(c) Kidney
(d) Liver

Answer 1

Hint: Human stool is the solid or semisolid remains of food that would not be digested or absorbed within the intestine of humans, but have been rotted down by bacteria within the intestine.

Complete answer: Bile pigments produced from the liver, which give stool its brownish color. Bile pigments secrete Bilirubin which is weakened to urobilinogen and stercobilinogen. Urobilinogen is a colorless by- product of bilirubin reduction. The yellowish- brown color of stool is thanks to the stercobilinogen. Because of the malfunctioning of the liver, there is poor production of stercobilinogen. So, that is why the stool of an individual contains a whitish- grey color.
- Human feces normally own a light- weight dark brown coloration, which ends up from a mixture of bile, and bilirubin derivatives of stercobilin and urobilin from dead red blood cells. - Yellowing of feces is often caused by an infection referred to as giardiasis. Yellow stool also can indicate that food is passing through the alimentary canal relatively quickly. - Feces are often black thanks to the presence of red blood cells that are within the intestines long enough to be weakened by digestive enzymes. - Prussian blue, or blue, a coloring utilized in the treatment of radiation, cesium, and thallium poisoning, can turn the feces blue. - Feces are often green thanks to having large amounts of unprocessed bile within the alimentary canal and strong- smelling diarrhea. - Violet or purple feces may be a symptom of porphyria or more likely the consumption of beetroot.
So, the correct answer is ‘Liver’.

Note: Human fecal matter varies significantly in appearance, counting on diet and health. In premature disease, there is a decrease in biliary elimination which causes stercobilinogen to be absorbed mainly by the kidney, and, therefore, stercobilinogen seen within the urine in excess as urobilinogen.
