The largest gland of human body is

  • A.Thyroid
  • B.Kidney
  • C.Liver
  • D.Pancreas

Answer: C

The largest gland in the human body is the liver.

The liver weighs about 1.5 kg in an adult. It counts as a gland because it secretes bile, which passes to the small intestine to help digest fats, and it also stores glycogen, makes blood proteins and breaks down toxins.

The thyroid is the largest purely endocrine gland, but it is far smaller than the liver. The pancreas is the second largest gland. The kidney is an excretory organ that filters blood, not a gland.
