Question

The ________ DOES NOT function as an excretory organ in humans.

A.

lungs

B.

skin

C.

small intestine

D.

large intestine

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (C) small intestine.

·         The small intestine is a part of the digestive system in humans and is primarily responsible for the digestion and absorption of nutrients, not excretion.

·         While other options play roles in excretion, the small intestine is not involved in removing waste products from the body.

Explanation of Other Options:

  • Lungs:
    • The lungs excrete carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water vapor during respiration, making them an excretory organ.
  • Skin:
    • The skin excretes waste through sweat glands, which eliminate salts, water, and small amounts of urea.
  • Large intestine:
    • The large intestine excretes solid waste (feces) after the absorption of water and salts from undigested food.
