What will happen if the secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an inhibitor?

  • Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin

  • Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen

  • In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin

  • In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin


C.

In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin

Gastric glands are numerous microscopic tubular glands formed by the epithelium of the stomach.The parietal cells (oxynitic cells) are large and most numberous on the side walls of gastric glands. They secrete hydrochloric acid and castle intrinsic factor. The peptic cells (zymogen) cells of gastric glands secrete gastric digestive enzymes as proenzymes - pepsinogen and proennin and a small amount of gastric amylase and gastric lipase. The hydrochloric acid maintains a strongly acidic pH of about 1.5 to 2.5 in the stomach. HCl converts pepsinogen and prorennin to pepsin and rennin respectively.

The secretion of intestinal glands is called succus entericus. It contains many enzymes, maltase, lactase, sucrase, enterokinase, nucleotidase etc. The enterokinase coverts proenzyme trypsinogen into active trypsin.
