Gastric gland cell types:
1-Goblet Cells - produce mucus and secrete it into the lumen (open space) of the stomach
2-Parietal Cells- secrete HCl (Hydrochloride acid)
3- Chief Cells secrete pepsinogen the inactive form of pepsin. It is self digested and forms pepsin in the acid environment of the stomach.
4-Argentaffin Cells- serotonin and histamine maintain structure of gastric mucosa.
5-G-cells- secrete gastrin a hormone that regulate rate of digestion.

∙ 7y agoThe enteroendocrine cells stimulate the parietal cells to secret hydrochloric acid and the chief cells to secret pepsinogen. It contracts the lower esophageal sphincter, increases the stomach's motility, and relaxes the pyloric sphincter.

Why is it important for the digestive system to build and replace cells and tissues?
The digestive system uses a lot of enzymes, especially in the stomach. The presence of hydrochloric acid is one of the main contributers to stomach acidity. This causes the mucosal lining to degenerate, so the digestive system needs to rebuild cells in order to protect itself.
What is the function of the gastric artery?

How do the epithelia of the esophagus and stomach relate to their specific functions?
By relating to their specific excretions. While they do share some excretory functions and products, the main function that they do not share is that stomach epithelial cells secrete hydrochloric acid.
The main function of red blood cells is to?

What is the main function of the left side of human heart?
