Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the concept of hollow versus solid organs. Hollow organs are structures that have a cavity or lumen inside, allowing substances to pass through or be stored. Solid organs, on the other hand, are dense and do not have a hollow cavity.

Step 2: Review the anatomy of the listed organs. The small intestine, gallbladder, and stomach are hollow organs because they have a lumen where digestion, storage, or transport of substances occurs.

Step 3: Examine the liver. The liver is a solid organ because it is dense and does not have a hollow cavity. Its primary functions include detoxification, metabolism, and production of bile, which is stored in the gallbladder.

Step 4: Compare the liver to the other organs listed. The liver is anatomically and functionally distinct from the hollow organs mentioned, confirming it as the correct answer.

Step 5: Conclude that the liver is the exception among the listed organs, as it is a solid organ rather than a hollow one.
