    Question

    Which is the largest gland in the human body?

    A.

    Gall bladder

    B.

    Liver

    C.

    Large intestine

    D.

    Small intestine

    Correct option is B


    Sol. The liver is the largest gland in the human body, weighing around 1.2 to 1.5 kg in adults. It performs over 500 vital functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and production of bile for fat digestion.
    Explanation of each option: • (a) Gall bladder – A small organ under the liver that stores bile. It is not a gland and doesn’t produce secretions itself. • (b) Liver – Correct. It is a vital glandular organ involved in metabolic and digestive processes, including bile production and detoxification. • (c) Large intestine – Part of the digestive tract involved in water absorption, not a gland. • (d) Small intestine – Also a digestive organ but not classified as a gland; it absorbs nutrients, not secretes hormones.
