Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stomach delivers chyme, a mix of partially digested food and stomach secretions, to the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. The other options are incorrect: A is partially true, but most dietary fat is absorbed in the small intestine, not the stomach. B is incorrect; microvilli are found in the small intestine, not the stomach. C is incorrect; the stomach is attached proximally to the esophagus and distally to the small intestine (not just to the jejunum).
