The term “nasogastric” refers to which two body locations?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nose and stomach
The word “nasogastric” is formed from two parts: “naso,” meaning nose, and “gastric,” meaning stomach. A nasogastric tube therefore travels from the nose through the upper digestive passage to the stomach. Recognising these word roots helps identify the tube and its route, making option A correct.
