Question

Select the INCORRECT statement about liver.

• A. Kupffer cells help in detoxification process.
• B. Blood proteins such as fibrinogen and prothrombin are not produced in liver.
• C. Deamination of ammonia takes place to form urea.
• D. It stores excess of glucose in the form of glycogen.

Hint:

Fibrinogen and prothrombin are plasma proteins made by the liver.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
The liver is the largest gland. It detoxifies, stores glycogen, makes plasma proteins and forms urea.

Step 2: Check the statements
Kupffer cells are fixed macrophages and help in detoxification.
Ammonia from deamination is converted into urea in the liver.
Excess glucose is stored as glycogen.

Step 3: Find the wrong one
Fibrinogen and prothrombin are plasma proteins that the liver does synthesise. Saying they are not produced in the liver is wrong.

Final Answer:
The incorrect statement is that fibrinogen and prothrombin are not produced in the liver. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }\text{Blood proteins such as fibrinogen and prothrombin are not produced in liver.}} \]
