Answer the following essay question: parietal cells produce HCl in the stomach; and, chief cells secrete te enzymes
pepsinogen, rennin, and gastric lipase.
Describe parietal cells and chief cells: name their
location, secretions and purposes. The parietal cells (located in the wall of the stomach body) secrete
hydrochloric acid, generating a pH of 1.3-3.5. This very acidic pH kills many of
the bacteria ingested along with food. In addition, the low pH stops the
activity of salivary amylase. The secretion of hydrochloric acid is essential in
the activation of pepsin.
Chief cells: secrete pepsinogen. Pepsinogen (a pre-enzyme) is secreted by
the chief cells in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid converts the inactive
pepsinogen (secreted by the chief cells) into the active enzyme pepsin which
begins the breakdown of proteins.
