The diagram shows the digestive system and some of its associated organs. Which label identifies the liver?
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: A
The liver is located in the upper right abdomen, below the diaphragm and to the right of the stomach. In the diagram, Label A correctly identifies the liver due to its:
- Position (upper right quadrant)
- Large, lobed structure
- Proximity to the stomach (Label B) and gallbladder (if visible)
Why other labels are incorrect:
– B: Likely the stomach (J-shaped, below the liver).
– C: Small intestine (coiled structure, lower abdomen).
– D: Possibly the pancreas (smaller, behind the stomach).
The diagram shows the alimentary canal and some of the associated organs in a cat. The alimentary canal of a cat is similar to that of a human.

- 1 is the stomach (digests food).
- 2 is the pancreas (secretes digestive enzymes).
3
