Steven has extreme stomach pain. Tests show that his stomach is hemorrhaging. What part of Steven’s stomach has been eroded?
  1. Meissner’s plexus
  2. Mucosal lining
  3. Auerbach’s plexus
  4. Serosa
Explanation
Answer - B - Tests confirming a patient has stomach hemorrhaging has eroded mucosal lining. Gastric ulceration occurs when the hydrochloric acid of the stomach erodes the mucosal lining of the stomach wall. This can be severe enough to cause gastric hemorrhaging. Gastritis may present with similar discomfort as gastric ulceration, but it refers specifically to inflammation of mucosal line.
