The rabbit liver is situated in the epigastric region, between both costal arches, reaching the level of the right 7th and left 9th ribs. Rabit liver is divided into two right and left the region by deep cleft with right and left lobes. These lobes are further divided into the posterior and anterior region. It contains five lobes, as the right hepatic lobe, caudate and quadrate lobes are single, and the left hepatic one is separated in lateral and medial parts. Thus the correct answer is option C.

Heparin is an anticoagulant that prevent blood clotting by the release of specific proteins like tissue plasminogen activator and tissue factor pathway inhibitor, into the blood.

Sinusoids are characterized by a form of terminal blood channel consisting of a large, irregular anastomosing vessel having a lining of reticulo-endothelium and found in the liver, heart, spleen, pancreas, and the adrenal, parathyroid, carotid, and hemolymph glands.

The liver is the primary site for cholesterol biosynthesis in the human body.

The liver performs several roles in lipid metabolism. Cholesterol, triglycerides (fats) and lipoproteins are synthesized in the liver.

Deamination is the process of removal of amino acids like serine and threonine from molecules and the enzyme that catalyses the reaction is deaminases. In the human body, it takes place primarily in the liver however glutamate is also deaminated in the kidneys.

• Hormones are secreted by the endocrine glands which are specific in nature.
  
• 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'.

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.
