Which of the following is NOT true with respect to liver ?
- ABile is collected and carried through bile duct and stored in sac like gall bladder.
- BBile juice secreted by liver emulsifies fats and makes food alkaline.
- Correct answerCLiver acts as a haemopoietic organ in adult human beings.
- DKupffer cells destroy toxic substances, dead and worn-out blood cells and microorganisms.
Solution
The liver acts as a haemopoietic organ (blood-forming organ) during the embryonic stage of human development, not in adult human beings. In adults, haemopoiesis primarily occurs in the red bone marrow.
Bile secreted by the hepatic cells passes through the hepatic ducts and is stored and concentrated in a thin muscular sac called the gall bladder.
Bile juice contains bile salts which help in the emulsification of fats and also provide an alkaline medium for the action of pancreatic enzymes.
Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages located in the liver that phagocytose and destroy toxic substances, dead and worn-out blood cells, and microorganisms.
