Pepsin is an enzyme released by the?
pepsin is a enzyme secreted by the gastric glands
Why is gastric juice acidic?
Yes it is. The proper name for it is Gastric Acid.
What will happen if mucus is not secreted by gastric glands?
Then the gastric acid will eat holes in the stomach (called ulcers).
What produces a whole spectrum of enzymes that is secreted into the duodenum?
gastric glands
What is the acidic substance secreted by glands in the stomach wall?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Why does the acid in gastric juice not damage the wall of the?
Becouse colorless watery acidic digestive fluid that is secreted by various glands in the mucous membrane of the stomach and consists chiefly of hydrochloric acid, pepsin, rennin, and mucin. salman
What neutralize the gastric juices?
alkaline juices is the duodenum secreted from glands in the gut wall.
What type of acid is secreted by the gastric pits in the stomach?
Gastric juice is secreted from gastric glands, which are located in narrow tube like structures called gastric pits. Gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, pepsinogenand mucus in a healthy adult. Hydrochloric acid is secreted by parietal cells, pepsinogen is secreted by gastric chief cells and mucus is secreted by mucus neck cells. Source: Wikipedia
Where are the gastric glands found and what do they do?
gastric glands are found in the stomach.
Pepsinogen is the precursor to the gastric enzyme for protein digestion and is secreted by the parietal cells?
it is secreted by stomach glands as an inactive proenzyme, pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin by the cleavage of acid-labile linkages in the acidic (low pH) environment of the stomach.
Why are protein digestive enzymes produced and released in an inactive form?
In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
What does the enzyme pepsin digest?
Pepsin breaks down proteins into peptides and is found in the stomach, its secreted from the gastric glands found in the lining of the stomach.
