Discuss the four main types of cells found in gastric glands and indicate their secretions
What will be an ideal response?
The four main types of cells found in gastric glands are diffuse neuroendocrine system (DNES) cells, chief cells, parietal cells, and mucous neck cells. 1 ) Diffuse neuroendocrine system (DNES) cells secrete hormones such as gastrin. Gastrin stimulates secretions from other gastric gland cells called parietal cells. 2 ) Chief cells secrete an inactive enzyme known as pepsinogen. When pepsinogen encounters an acidic pH in the stomach, it becomes the active enzyme pepsin and begins protein digestion in the stomach. 3 ) Parietal cells release both hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor. Hydrochloric acid is responsible for the acidic pH of gastric juice. Intrinsic factor is required for intestinal absorption of vitamin B12. 4 ) Mucous neck cells secrete acidic mucus.
