Endocrine System MCQ Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
How much gastric juice is secreted daily?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B (3 litres). The average adult human stomach secretes about 2-3 liters of gastric juice per day. This amount is necessary for the effective digestion of food, as gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and mucus. Option A (1.5 litres) is too low for daily gastric juice secretion. Option C (4 litres) is too high and could lead to hypersecretion or other digestive issues. Option D is incomplete and does not provide a valid answer. Therefore, option B is the most accurate in reflecting the average daily secretion of gastric juice.
