Which exocrine structure is involved in the digestion of fat?

Answer
A
salivary glands
B
lacrimal glands
C
liver
D
oil glands

Explanation

The liver is an exocrine organ because it releases bile through ducts into the digestive tract. Bile helps break fat into small droplets, making it easier to digest. Salivary glands aid digestion mainly by producing saliva, while lacrimal glands make tears and oil glands produce skin oil.
