The Stomach

Question

The stomach
A) digests and absorbs most dietary fat.
B) is lined with microvilli to maximize absorption.
C) is attached distally to the jejunum and proximally to the esophagus.
D) delivers chyme to the duodenum.

Accepted Answer

The stomach delivers partially digested food (chyme) to the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum. Option A is incorrect because the majority of dietary fat is digested and absorbed in the small intestine. Option B is incorrect because microvilli are found in the small intestine, not the stomach. Option C is also incorrect because the stomach is attached proximally to the esophagus and distally to the small intestine, not specifically to the jejunum.
