Which of the Following is NOT a Function of the Stomach

Question

Which of the following is NOT a function of the stomach?
A) Storage
B) Protein digestion
C) Absorption of aspirin
D) Segmental contractions

Accepted Answer

The stomach functions include storage of food, initiation of protein digestion through the action of enzymes like pepsin, and absorption of certain substances, including aspirin. Segmental contractions, however, are characteristic of the small intestine, not the stomach, and are involved in mixing and absorption processes there.
