What do gastric pits produce?
gastric pits contain 3 main types of cells, the mucousa cell which produces mucus that lines the inside of the stomach to stop the stomach acid from digesting itself. the pariental which secretes hydrochloric acidby active transport into the stomach to aide breaking down the foods. and the chief cell which secretes pepsin, an emzyme that breaks down food intomore soluble pieces which can be then taken into the intestines to be absorbed.
What are the functions of parietal cells?
Parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach. Their main product is hydrochloric acid (HCl).
What does the parietal cell in the stomach make?

How does hydrochloric acid in the stomach work considering that it is highly corrosive?
The lining of the stomach is made up of thick tendons and cell walls which are strong enough to support acids of up to PH 2. However, if this wall were to slightly break, then an ulcer would form, preventing the acid to damage any vital organs.
What is the difference between pepsin and pepsinogen?
Pepsin is a powerful protein digesting enzyme which is far too dangerous in its active form so it is released in an inactive pepsinogen form by the cell and activated only in the digestive tract where it is required to be active.
What prevents pepsin from destroying the cell walls in the stomach?
Pepsin is secreted as pepsinogen. Pepsinogen cannot eat the walls of the stomach. Now, pepsin is formed when pepsinogen binds to the hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. Once they are binded pepsin is formed. The second reason on why the stomach doesn't eat it's self is because of the alkaline mucus that suround the walls of the stomach.
