Glandular and Muscular Stomach of Poultry
Glandular stomach & muscular stomach of poultry are respectively:
- Proventriculus & Gizzard
- Proventriculus & Ventriculus
- Ventriculus & Proventriculus
- Both A and C — Correct Answer
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Both A and C (Proventriculus & Gizzard / Proventriculus & Ventriculus)
This question has two correct answers because Gizzard and Ventriculus are the same organ:
- Glandular stomach = Proventriculus — secretes HCl and pepsinogen for chemical digestion.
- Muscular stomach = Gizzard = Ventriculus — a thick-walled, muscular organ that physically grinds food. Its inner lining is hardened by koilin secretion.
So option A (Proventriculus & Gizzard) and option C (Ventriculus & Proventriculus) — when reversed — both correctly describe the glandular and muscular stomachs respectively. Hence "Both A & C" is correct.
