Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Liver is involved in the production of bile (hepatic bile pH is 8.6). Bile helps in the digestion of fats in the small intestine by the emulsification process (conversion of large fat droplets into small ones).
Liver also plays a critical role in controlling rate metabolism by maintaining glucose concentration in normal range. Gastrin is secreted by G-cells in pyrolic region of stomach. It stimulates gastric glands to secrete and release gastric juices.
