Please explain me this
Stool of a person contain whitish grey colour due to malfunction of which type of organ:
(1) Pancreas
(2) Spleen
(3) Kidney
(4) Liver
Dear student,
The normal yellowish or brown colour of stool is due to the presence of the bile salts. Bile salts are the most abundant components of the bile and play a key role in composition and maintenance of the micellar structure of the bile. It is produced by the liver.
Now, the whitish grey colour of stool indicates low bile salt amount in stool. It implies that the liver is malfunctioning.
Hence, the correct answer is (4) Liver.
