Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question: The problem asks which organ is NOT part of the human reproductive system. This requires knowledge of the anatomy and function of each organ listed.
Review the reproductive system: The human reproductive system includes organs involved in reproduction. For females, this includes the ovaries and uterus. For males, this includes the testes.
Analyze each option: Evaluate whether each organ listed (ovaries, testes, uterus, and liver) is part of the reproductive system. Ovaries produce eggs, testes produce sperm, and the uterus is involved in supporting fetal development. These are all reproductive organs.
Consider the liver: The liver is a vital organ involved in metabolism, detoxification, and other essential functions, but it is not part of the reproductive system.
Conclude: Based on the analysis, the liver is the correct answer as it is NOT a component of the human reproductive system.
