Select the INCORRECT statement about liver.
- AKupffer cells help in detoxification process.
- Correct answerBBlood proteins such as fibrinogen and prothrombin are not produced in liver.
- CDeamination of ammonia takes place to form urea.
- DIt stores excess of glucose in the form of glycogen.
Solution
The liver is the primary site for the synthesis of most blood plasma proteins, including fibrinogen and prothrombin, which are essential for blood clotting. Therefore, the statement that they are not produced in the liver is incorrect.
Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages located in the liver that help in the removal of pathogens and dead cells, contributing to the detoxification process.
The liver converts highly toxic ammonia (produced by the deamination of amino acids) into less toxic urea through the ornithine cycle.
The liver also plays a key role in carbohydrate metabolism by converting excess glucose into glycogen for storage (glycogenesis).
Answer: Blood proteins such as fibrinogen and prothrombin are not produced in liver.
