Question 1
The liver is responsible for each of the following EXCEPT:
- Producing bile
,- Stores vitamins and minerals
- Releases insulin
- Synthesizes protein
Answer: Releases insulin.
Verified Rationale:
The liver performs numerous essential metabolic, synthetic, and storage
functions, such as producing bile for fat digestion, synthesizing plasma
proteins (e.g., albumin, clotting factors), and storing vitamins (A, D, B12)
and minerals (iron, copper). However, insulin is released by the beta cells
of the pancreas, not the liver. The liver does respond to insulin by
regulating carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism, but it does not
produce or secrete this hormone.

The liver is responsible for each of the following EXCEPT:
- Can store 500-1000 mL of blood
- Can store glucose as glycogen
- Converts ammonia to urea
- Helps with digestion of lipids
Answer: Helps with digestion of lipids.
, Verified Rationale:
While the liver is integral to the process of fat digestion through the
secretion of bile salts (which emulsify dietary fats), the actual enzymatic
digestion of lipids occurs primarily via pancreatic lipase in the small
intestine. The liver itself is not directly digesting the lipids but assists by
producing bile.

Question 2
Complications of gallstones include each of the following EXCEPT:
- Cirrhosis
- Biliary obstruction
- Pancreatitis
- Cholecystitis
Answer: Cirrhosis.
Verified Rationale:
Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease unrelated to gallstones. It is most
commonly due to chronic alcohol use, chronic hepatitis, or metabolic
disorders. Gallstones may cause biliary obstruction, acute/chronic
cholecystitis, and may also lead to pancreatitis if they block the
pancreatic duct, but they do not directly cause cirrhosis.
