• B. Intestinal juice
• C. Swelling in the gut
• D. Appendix

Answer 1

The correct option is B Intestinal juice

Succus entericus is commonly called as intestinal juice. It is alkaline in nature and produced by crypts of leiberkhun in the lumen of the intestine. It helps to counteract the highly acidic and proteolytic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach, and thus protects the duodenum from damage.
