The largest gland in the human body–

Correct option is B

Sol. The liver is the largest gland in the human body. It weighs around 1.2–1.5 kg in adults and performs over 500 vital functions, including bile secretion, detoxification, metabolism of nutrients, and storage of vitamins. It is both an exocrine gland (secreting bile) and an endocrine gland (metabolic regulation).
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Pancreas – A dual-function gland (endocrine and exocrine), but much smaller than the liver. It produces insulin, glucagon, and digestive enzymes.
· (b) Liver – Correct Answer. Located in the upper right abdomen, the liver supports digestion, blood filtration, and detoxification. It’s essential for survival.
· (c) Spleen – Not a gland, but a lymphoid organ that filters blood and recycles old red blood cells. Smaller and non-secretory.
· (d) Gallbladder – A small organ that stores and concentrates bile, but it doesn’t produce any hormones or enzymes and is not a gland.
