Question

Which of the following is not a function of liver?
A. Deamination
B. Bile storage
C. Synthesis of plasma protein
D.Storage of fat-soluble vitamin

Answer 1

Hint: The liver is defined as the largest gland of the body that is just below the diaphragm and it is associated with the digestive system. It is divided into two parts and is connected by falciform ligament. The internally structural and functional units of liver are termed as hepatic lobules which are composed of hepatic cells and also contain Kupffer cells which are found in mammals.

Complete Answer:
Liver helps to synthesise some kind of salt or juice which help in digestion of fats and lipid, liver not help in digestion of complex molecule but also have role in storing of blood glucose when it exceeds in blood, stored in form of glycogen and when it required then it reconvert into glucose and then release into blood.

Now let us find solution from given options:
- Deamination: The liver has an important role in exudating toxins from the body. It is achieved by converting ammonia which is a by-product formed after the metabolism of food in the body, into urea and is termed as deamination.
- Bile storage: Liver helps to synthesise bile juice from hepatic cells, bile enters into the bile canaliculi which empty into small herring’s canals. A pear shape structure located just below the liver, is known as gall which stores the bile juice or bile salts.
- Synthesis of plasma protein: Hepatocytes are the kinds of liver cells. They perform a role for the storage of many proteins in the body which are required for several vital functions.
- Storage of fat soluble vitamin: The liver helps to store vitamins and enzymes that the body needs. These are vitamin A, vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin K, and iron.

Our required option is B that is Bile storage.

Note: The liver helps to secrete carbohydrates and it is necessary for converting glucose into glycogen which is stored both in the liver and in the muscle cells. The liver also synthesises bile which helps in food digestion. The liver is required for breaking down the medications, drugs and alcohol consumed by the person.
