  1. Only A

  2. Only B

  3. Both A and C

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The pancreas is one of the most important glands of the digestive system in human. It is located in the abdominal cavity, behind the stomach, which is upper left part of the abdomen. The tissues with an endocrine role can be seen under staining as lightly-stained clusters of cells, called as Pancreatic islets, also called as Islets of Langerhans. Islets of Langerhans contain four different type of cells, that is, alpha cells, beta cells, delta cells, and pp cells also called as F cells. The F cells constitute only 5% of islet cells. It secretes pancreatic polypeptide. 

In which of the form is glucose stored in liver

  1. Cellulose

  2. Glycogen

  3. Starch

  4. Sucrose.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

All animals and humans store some glucose in the cells so that it is available for quick shots of energy. When there is excess of glucose in the body, it is stored in the liver as the large compound called glycogen. when there is demand for glucose then it is break down their stored glycogen into glucose and send it through the blood stream as fuel for other organs.

So, the correct answer is option B.

  1. Liver

  2. Gall bladder

  3. Salivary gland

  4. Pancreatic acini

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Pancreatic juice is considered the complete digestive juice because of the fact that it contains enzymes for the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in addition to bicarbonate ions that provide an alkaline medium. Its alkaline nature helps to neutralize the acidic chyme that comes from the stomach. It also has pancreatic amylase that converts complex polysaccharides into disaccharides and the presence of lipase enzymes helps to digest fats. Lastly, it also contains protein-digesting enzymes like trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase.
So the correct answer is 'Pancreatic acini'.

Liver is the largest gland and is associated with various functions. Choose one which is not correct?

  1. Metabolism of carbohydrate

  2. Digestion of fat

  3. Formation of bile

  4. Secretion of hormone called gastrin

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gastrin hormone is secreted by the G-cells in the mucosal lining of the stomach. Gastrin is responsible for stimulating the secretion of HCl in the stomach.

A. The liver performs the metabolism of carbohydrates by making glycogen from excess glucose and releasing glycogen at the time of glucose deficiency in the body.
B. The liver plays a role in the digestion of fats by releasing bile in the duodenum.
C. Liver forms bile which contains bilirubin, cholesterol, bicarbonate ions, and bile salts that aid in the digestion of fats.
D. Gastrin is secreted by the G-cells in the stomach.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Secretion of hormone called gastrin'
