Urea is formed in which organ?

Explanation:
The liver carries out the urea cycle, converting toxic ammonia from protein breakdown into urea. This detoxification step happens in hepatocytes, making urea the form that can travel in blood to the kidneys for excretion in urine. The kidneys handle disposal, not production. The stomach isn’t a site of urea synthesis, and the heart doesn’t participate in this metabolic pathway.
