According to the text, what is recognized as a major site for metabolizing chemicals in the body, and potentially affected by occupational and environmental factors?

  1. The brain

  2. The liver

  3. The stomach

  4. The heart

The correct answer is: The liver

The liver is recognized as a major site for metabolizing chemicals in the body. Metabolism is a vital process in the body that involves breaking down and converting substances into usable forms. The liver plays a critical role in this process by producing enzymes and filtering toxins out of the blood. Other options such as the brain, stomach, and heart are not primarily responsible for metabolizing chemicals and are less likely to be affected by occupational and environmental factors. While they all have important functions in the body, the liver is specifically designed for metabolizing chemicals and is therefore the most likely answer.
