Question 1 of 5
Where is the duodenum located in the digestive system?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine, located immediately after the stomach. It is where the majority of digestion takes place in the gut. The pancreas delivers digestive juices containing amylase and lipase, while the gall bladder delivers bile to aid in the digestion of fats.
Choice A incorrectly states that the duodenum is the third section of the small intestine, which is inaccurate.
Choice B incorrectly associates the duodenum with the gall bladder, which is not where the duodenum is located.
Choice C incorrectly states that the duodenum is where the pancreas delivers digestive juices, which is partly correct but not the main function of the duodenum.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'None of the above' as none of the choices accurately describe the location or functions of the duodenum.
