Biology

Which two organ glands are affected by malaria?

Correct answer: B

A
Lungs and heart
B
Spleen and liver
Correct
C
Kidneys and lungs
D
Heart and brain
Explanation and memory cue

Malaria primarily affects the liver and spleen because the parasite first multiplies in liver cells and later infects red blood cells, which are filtered by the spleen. These organs are crucial in the disease's pathology.
