The three major parts of the stomach are __________
- Correct answerAupper cardiac, central body, lower pylorus
- Bupper pylorus, central fundus, lower cardiac
- Cupper cardiac, central pylorus, lower body
- Dupper cardiac, central pylorus, lower fundus.
Solution
The stomach is a J-shaped organ located in the upper left portion of the abdominal cavity. Anatomically, it is divided into major regions based on their position:
1. Cardiac portion (upper): The region into which the oesophagus opens.
2. Body (central): The main central region of the stomach.
3. Pyloric portion (lower): The lower region that opens into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
The fundus is another region, which is the dome-shaped upper part, but among the given options, the correct sequence of upper, central, and lower parts is upper cardiac, central body, and lower pylorus.
Answer: upper cardiac, central body, lower pylorus
1. Cardiac portion (upper): The region into which the oesophagus opens.
2. Body (central): The main central region of the stomach.
3. Pyloric portion (lower): The lower region that opens into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
The fundus is another region, which is the dome-shaped upper part, but among the given options, the correct sequence of upper, central, and lower parts is upper cardiac, central body, and lower pylorus.
Answer: upper cardiac, central body, lower pylorus
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
