Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The pharmacologic importance of the stomach lies in its capacity to absorb drugs. For most oral drugs, the stomach is not the primary site of absorption because the drug does not stay long in the organ. Stomach acidity (pH 1 to 2) can either assist in the absorption process or destroy the drug entirely.
