Question:   From NCERT NEET 2020   

The intrinsic factor that helps in the absorption of vitamin B12 is secreted by-

1. Goblet cells

2. Hepatic cells

3. Oxyntic cells

4. Chief cells


 Answer  

3

Answer (4) Oxyntic cells


Sol. The correct answer is option (4) because parietal or oxyntic cells secrete HCl and intrinsic factor (factor essential for absorption of vitamin B12) .


Peptic or chief cells secrete proenzyme pepsinogen. Goblet cells secrete mucus. Hepatic cells secrete bile

Question:   From NCERT NEET 2008 

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

inhibitor?

2. Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen

3. In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active

enzyme pepsin

4. Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal mucosa and so trypsinogcn is not

converted to trypsin
