Question

which exocrine structure is involved in the digestion of fat? lacrimal glands liver oil glands salivary glands

Explanation:

To determine the exocrine structure involved in fat digestion, we analyze each option:

• Lacrimal glands produce tears, not related to fat digestion.
• The liver (as an exocrine organ via bile production) releases bile, which emulsifies fat, aiding its digestion.
• Oil glands (e.g., sebaceous glands) secrete sebum for skin/hair, not fat digestion.
• Salivary glands secrete saliva for carbohydrate digestion (via amylase), not fat.

Answer:

B. liver
