Question

Which of the following cell types is correctly matched with its function?
A) mucous cells - produce intrinsic factor
B) parietal cells - produce hydrochloric acid
C) chief cells - produce mucous
D) endocrine cells - produce enzymes
E) chief cells – produce hormones

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B- parietal cells produce hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid also referred to as gastric acid is produced as a response mechanism to histamine, acetylcholine and gastrin through the aid of H2 receptors, M3 receptors and gastrin receptors respectively. This is carried out by an active transport system into the stomach by a robust secretory system known as the canaliculi. The canaliculi are responsible for the secretion of hydrochloric acid which aids the digestion process in the stomach
