Explanation:

Somatic sites refer to body tissues. In the context of Toxocara canis larval migration, after hatching in the small - intestine and entering the bloodstream, the larvae are carried to body tissues such as muscles, kidneys, and mammary glands. Intravascular locations are within blood vessels, the lumen of the GI tract is the interior space of the gastrointestinal tract, and the alveoli of the lungs are part of the respiratory system's gas - exchange units, none of which are the general definition of somatic sites.
