What will happen if mucus is not secreted by gastric glands?
If mucus is not secreted by gastric glands, the stomach lining would be exposed to the harsh acidic environment of the stomach leading to damage and ulcers. Mucus acts as a protective barrier against the stomach acid, so its absence can result in inflammation and erosion of the stomach lining.
Where is hydrochloric acid secreted in the digestive system?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach. These cells are located in the gastric glands lining the stomach wall. Hydrochloric acid plays a key role in the digestion of food by creating an acidic environment in the stomach.
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
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.
What is the oily substance secreted by glands associated with the hair follicles?
Sebum is the oily substance secreted by glands associated with the hair follicles. It helps to moisturize the skin and hair, but excessive sebum production can lead to oily skin and acne.
Pepsin is an enzyme released by the?
Pepsin is an enzyme released by the chief cells in the stomach. It helps in the digestion of proteins by breaking them down into smaller peptides. Pepsin is activated by the acidic environment in the stomach.
How much volume of acidic fluid is secreted by gastric glands everyday?
i think it must be 5-10%
A substance secreted by cells or glands that have a regulatory effect in the body?
That is called a hormone. It is an organic secretion
Why is gastric juice acidic?
Yes it is. The proper name for it is Gastric Acid.
Is ptyalin secreted by cells in the stomach?
no ptyalin is not secretes by the cells in 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 would be happen if HCL were not secreted in stomach?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the glands present on the stomach walls. It dissolves bits of food and creates an acidic medium. The acidic medium allows pepsinogen to be converted into pepsin. Pepsin plays an important role in the digestion of proteins. Therefore, if HCl were not secreted in the stomach, then pepsin would not be activated. This would affect protein digestion. A pH of about 1.8 is necessary for proteins to be digested. This pH is achieved by HCl.
