Question #1
Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The liver produces bile. 2. The pancreas produces insulin. 3. The gall bladder produces digestive enzymes. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The liver continuously synthesizes bile, which is essential for fat emulsification. The pancreas acts as both an exocrine and endocrine gland; its Islets of Langerhans produce insulin and glucagon. The gall bladder only stores, concentrates, and releases bile; it does not produce any digestive enzymes. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
