What Do You Know About The Human Stomach? - Quiz

The stomach is a vital hollow organ in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and many other animals, including several invertebrates. Take this quiz to ask yourself what you know about the human stomach.

Questions and Answers

1.

Where is the stomach located?
- A.
  
  A. Left side of the upper abdomen
- B.
  
  B. Right side of the upper abdomen
- C.
  
  C. On the abdomen
- D.
  
  D. On the chest
Correct Answer
A. A. Left side of the upper abdomen

Explanation
The stomach is located on the left side of the upper abdomen. This is a known anatomical fact. The stomach is a muscular organ that is part of the digestive system and is responsible for breaking down food. Its specific location in the upper abdomen on the left side can vary slightly from person to person, but generally, it is situated in this area.

What kind of organ is the stomach?
- A.
  
  A. Stong Organ
- B.
  
  B. Flesh Organ
- C.
  
  C. Muscular Organ
- D.
  
  D. Soft Organ
Correct Answer
C. C. Muscular Organ

Explanation
The stomach is a muscular organ that plays a crucial role in the digestion process. It has thick layers of smooth muscle that help to mix and churn the food, breaking it down into smaller particles. This muscular activity also helps to propel the food through the digestive system. Additionally, the stomach has the ability to expand and contract, allowing it to accommodate varying amounts of food. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Muscular Organ.

Where does the stomach receive food from?
- A.
  
  A. Mouth
- B.
  
  B. Bone
- C.
  
  C. Teeth
- D.
  
  D. Esophagus
Correct Answer
D. D. Esophagus

Explanation
The stomach receives food from the esophagus. The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. After food is chewed and swallowed in the mouth, it travels down the esophagus through a series of muscle contractions called peristalsis. These contractions push the food into the stomach, where it is further broken down and digested.

What aids the digestion of food in the stomach?
- A.
  
  A. Acid and Base
- B.
  
  B. Acid and enzymes
- C.
  
  C. Hormones
- D.
  
  D. None of the above
Correct Answer
B. B. Acid and enzymes

Explanation
The correct answer is B. Acid and enzymes. Acid and enzymes aid the digestion of food in the stomach. The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, which helps break down food and kill bacteria. Enzymes, such as pepsin, are also produced in the stomach and help to further break down proteins into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. Together, acid and enzymes play a crucial role in the digestion process in the stomach.

What line is the ridge of muscle tissue in the stomach called?
- A.
  
  A. Rugae Lines
- B.
  
  B. Enzymitic Lines
- C.
  
  C. Calorie Line
- D.
  
  D. Esophagus Line
Correct Answer
A. A. Rugae Lines

Explanation
The ridge of muscle tissue in the stomach is called rugae lines. These lines are formed by folds in the inner lining of the stomach and allow the stomach to expand and contract as food is digested. The rugae lines help to increase the surface area of the stomach, allowing for more efficient absorption of nutrients.

Does the stomach muscles contract?
- A.
  
  A. Maybe
- B.
  
  B. Yes
- C.
  
  C. No Way
- D.
  
  D. No Idea
Correct Answer
B. B. Yes

Explanation
The stomach muscles do contract. Contraction of the stomach muscles helps in the digestion process by mixing and churning the food with digestive juices. These contractions, known as peristalsis, help move the food through the digestive system. Therefore, it is correct to say that the stomach muscles do contract.

A muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine is called what?
- A.
  
  A. Gastro esophageal Reflux
- B.
  
  B. Dyspepsia
- C.
  
  C. Gastritis
- D.
  
  D. pyloric sphincter
Correct Answer
A. A. Gastro esophageal Reflux
8.

Which of these is an example of a stomach condition?
- A.
  
  A. Yawing
- B.
  
  B. Coughing
- C.
  
  C. Stomach ulcer
- D.
  
  D. Malaria
Correct Answer
C. C. Stomach ulcer

Explanation
A stomach ulcer is an example of a stomach condition because it is a sore or hole in the lining of the stomach. It can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn, and nausea. Ulcers are often caused by the bacteria H. pylori, long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or excessive alcohol consumption. Treatment for stomach ulcers may include medication to reduce stomach acid, antibiotics to kill the bacteria, and lifestyle changes such as avoiding certain foods and managing stress.

What and what surrounds the stomach?
- A.
  
  A. Cardia and blood
- B.
  
  B. Gastric cardia
- C.
  
  C. Blood and Gaster
- D.
  
  D. Parasympathetic and Sympathetic
Correct Answer
D. D. Parasympathetic and Sympathetic

Explanation
The correct answer is D. Parasympathetic and Sympathetic. The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems surround the stomach. The parasympathetic nervous system stimulates digestion and increases blood flow to the stomach, while the sympathetic nervous system inhibits digestion and decreases blood flow to the stomach. These two systems work together to regulate the functions of the stomach.

How many sections is the human stomach divided into?
- A.
  
  A. 3
- B.
  
  B. 6
- C.
  
  C. 2
- D.
  
  D. 4
Correct Answer
D. D. 4

Explanation
The human stomach is divided into four sections: the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus. Each section has a specific function in the digestion process. The cardia is the uppermost part, where the esophagus connects to the stomach. The fundus is the rounded upper part, which stores swallowed food and releases it slowly into the body of the stomach. The body is the main central region where most of the digestion occurs. The pylorus is the lower part, responsible for controlling the release of partially digested food into the small intestine.
