Question

Ascaris occurs in

• A. Stomach
• B. Intestine
• C. Rectum
• D. Urinary bladder

Answer 1

The correct option is B Intestine

Ascariasis is a type of roundworm infection. These worms are parasites that use your body as a host to mature from larvae or eggs to adult worms. Adult worms, which reproduce, can be more than a foot (30 centimeters) long. After you ingest the microscopic ascariasis eggs, they hatch in your small intestine and the larvae migrate through your bloodstream or lymphatic system into your lungs. After spending six to 10 days in the lungs, the larvae travel to your throat, where you cough them up and then swallow them. The larvae mature into adult worms in your small intestine, and the adult worms typically live in the intestines until they die.

So, the correct answer is 'Intestine'.
