Which of the Following Structures Allow(s)the Stomach to Expand

Question

Which of the following structures allow(s)the stomach to expand?
A) Chief cells
B) The appendix
C) Villi
D) Rugae

Accepted Answer

Rugae are the folds in the inner lining of the stomach that allow it to expand when food is ingested. Chief cells are responsible for producing digestive enzymes, the appendix is a small pouch attached to the large intestine and is not relevant to stomach expansion, and villi are finger-like projections found in the small intestine that increase surface area for absorption but do not affect stomach expansion.
