Solution
The correct option is B 3----4 hrs
- Variables considered with feeding rate and gastric evacuation time includes temperature, season, activity, body size, gut capacity, satiety, and metabolic rate.
- Gastric emptying rate declines more or less exponentially with time. Larger meals first are digested at a faster rate than small meals and the amount of pepsin and acid produced was somewhat proportional to the degree of distension of the stomach.
- Stomach mobility often increases with the degree of stomach distension also. Gastric emptying time is approximately 3 - 4 hours.
