Which of the following is not a gland? A. Thyroid B. Gastrine C. Liver D. Pancreas

Thyroid
Gastrine
Liver
Pancreas

The correct answer is C. Liver.

A gland is an organ that produces and releases one or more substances for use in the body. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and development. Gastrine is a hormone that stimulates the production of gastric acid. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones that regulate blood sugar levels.

The liver is a large organ that performs many essential functions in the body, including:

  • Metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
  • Producing bile, which helps to digest fats
  • Storing vitamins and minerals
  • Detoxifying the blood
  • Regulating blood sugar levels

The liver is not a gland because it does not produce hormones or other substances that are released into the bloodstream.
