The correct sequence of the parts of the alimentary canal is
- A. mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
- B. mouth, oesophagus, pharynx, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
- C. mouth, stomach, pharynx, oesophagus, large intestine, small intestine
- D. mouth, pharynx, stomach, oesophagus, small intestine, large intestine
Explanation
Food passes through the pharynx before the oesophagus and the oesophagus before the stomach, and the small intestine always precedes the large one. Any sequence that swaps these pairs is wrong by definition.
