Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

When food is given in the stomach or intestines directly then it is ____ nutrition.

A	Intravenous
B	Enteral
C	Parenteral
D	Saline

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -One method is “enteral nutrition” or “tube feeding.” Normal digestion occurs when food is broken down in the stomach and small intestine, then absorbed in the bowels. These absorbed products are carried by the blood to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomach. After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lower esophageal sphincter at the top of the stomach regulates food passing from the esophagus into the stomach, and prevents the contents of the stomach from reentering the esophagus. The pyloric sphincter at the bottom of the stomach governs the passage of food out of the stomach into the small intestine.
