Which of the following is first in the digestive system?
-
Rectum
-
Small intestine
-
Colon
-
Stomach
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The stomach is the first organ in the digestive system. It receives food from the esophagus and begins the process of breaking it down. The stomach secretes gastric juices, including hydrochloric acid and enzymes, which help to break down proteins and kill bacteria. After the stomach, the partially digested food moves into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients. Therefore, the stomach is the correct answer as it is the initial organ involved in the digestive process.
