Options

- CLungs
- DSkin
Correct answer
A. Liver
Step-by-step solution
Other than the kidneys, lungs, liver and skin also help in the elimination of excretory wastes. Our lungs remove large amounts of CO₂ (approximately 200mL/minute) and also significant quantities of water every day. Liver, the largest gland in our body, secretes bile-containing substances like bilirubin, biliverdin, cholesterol, degraded steroid hormones, vitamins and drugs.Most of these substances ultimately pass out alongwith digestive wastes.
