Explanation:

Question 10

The digestive system pathway: food goes from mouth to esophagus to stomach, then to small intestine (duodenum first), then large intestine. So after stomach, it's small intestine.

• Cholelithiasis: gallstones.
• Cholecystitis: gallbladder inflammation.
• Cholecystectomy: surgical removal of gallbladder (ectomy = removal).
• Choledochorrhaphy: repair of bile duct. So the correct term for gallbladder removal is cholecystectomy.

The GI tract wall layers (superficial to deep): serosa (outermost), muscularis, submucosa, mucosa (innermost). So an incision from superficial (serosa) to deep would cut serosa, muscularis, submucosa, mucosa.

Answer:

B. small intestine.
