Question

Mixing movements

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mixing movements occur in both the stomach and small intestine and serve to promote digestion by mixing food with digestive juices and facilitate absorption by exposing luminal contents to absorptive surfaces. Option A alone is not comprehensive enough, as it does not cover the role of mixing movements in absorption. Option B alone is not correct, as it does not address the role of mixing movements in promoting digestion. Option C is incorrect, as mixing movements occur in both the stomach and small intestine. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it correctly summarizes the dual roles of mixing movements in digestion and absorption.
