Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 4, 5
The liver produces and secretes bile for fat breakdown, but also aids in the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates. It stores some vitamins, helps with blood coagulation, produces antibodies, and detoxifies some harmful substances. The pancreas is an example of an exocrine and endocrine gland. The kidneys filter nitrogen waste from the blood and make urine.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The spleen, the largest of the lymphoid organs, is located in the left upper portion of the abdomen directly inferior to the diaphragm.
