Question #1
The enzyme pepsin is secreted by which cells of the gastric glands?
A. Chief (peptic) cells
B. Mucous cells
C. G cells
D. Parietal (oxyntic) cells

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Chief cells (peptic cells) in the gastric mucosa secrete pepsinogen, which is converted to active pepsin by HCl. Pepsin digests proteins into peptides. Parietal cells secrete HCl and intrinsic factor. Mucous cells produce mucus that protects the stomach lining. G cells secrete gastrin hormone. Pepsin functions optimally at pH 1.8-2.0. The stomach thus initiates protein digestion.
