1. Anterior and posterior aspects of the stomach

2. Barium-filled fundus

3. Double contrast body and antral portions

Answer 1

During an upper GI examination, the AP recumbent projection of a stomach of average shape will usually demonstrate the anterior and posterior aspects of the stomach, a barium-filled fundus, and double contrast body and antral portions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The AP recumbent projection of a stomach of average shape during an upper GI examination will usually demonstrate:

1. Anterior and posterior aspects of the stomach. These refer to the front and back views of the stomach, which can be seen in the projection.
2. Barium-filled fundus. The fundus is the upper part of the stomach, and when barium is used during the examination, it will appear filled in the projection.
3. Double contrast body and antral portions. This refers to the body and antrum (lower part) of the stomach, which will be visible in the projection with both barium and air contrast.
