  • Each hormone causes a response in a target organ or tissues.
  • Once the function of the hormones is completed on their target organs or tissues they are destroyed. 
  • They are destroyed by the liver or the tissues of the target organs. 
  • The destroyed hormone is removed by the kidney. 
  • So, the correct answer is 'Liver'.

If $A=$ hepatic duct, $B=$common bile duct, $C=$hepato-pancreatic duct and $D=$cystic duct, then which of the following will not be having concentrated bile juice?

  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bile is produced in the liver and then it's concentrated in the gallbladder. From gallbladder, it goes through the cystic duct. Cystic duct joins the pancreatic duct to form the hepato-pancreatic duct. Pancreatic juice and bile juice together is secreted through a common hepatic duct into the duodenum. During secretion from the hepato-pancreatic duct, pancreatic juice is present too making bile juice diluted. 

So, the correct option is 'C'.
