Solution

The correct option is C

Pancreas


The lungs are a major channel of elimination of toxins about which most people are unaware. With each breath, they bring in oxygen and eliminate the carbon dioxide. The stools are the leftover products and an indigestible portion of the food you eat. The liver also excretes out toxins and waste products through the bile and hence eliminates heat. The kidneys are responsible for filtering out waste materials from the blood and flushing out the waste through the urine and eliminating heat content from the body through urine. Heat is lost from the skin by convection, conduction, radiation and through evaporation. Heat is also lost when cold food, water and beverages are taken into the body.
