Peptic cells, also known as chief cells, are specialized cells found in the gastric glands of the stomach. Their primary function is to produce and secrete pepsinogen, an inactive precursor of the enzyme pepsin, which plays a crucial role in digesting proteins. When pepsinogen is exposed to the acidic environment of the stomach, it is converted to active pepsin, facilitating protein breakdown during digestion. Additionally, peptic cells contribute to the overall digestive process by producing gastric lipase, which aids in fat digestion.

What is the function of nutritive muscular cells?
These cells are identical in form and function to epitheliomuscular cells; the only difference is that nutritive muscular cell processes are oriented sideways, so the myoneme, when connected, run in a circle around the polyp.
What are cells that have the same function organized into?
Cells that have the same function are often organized into tissues. Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body.
What is level of organization where a group of similar cells perform the same function?
Cells with similar function and/or structure make up tissues in the body.

Can peptic ulcer cause anemia?
A peptic ulcer is damage to the lining of the stomach (the cells). This damage causes bleeding and so your body loses blood. This is often slow and results in anaemia. (It can sometimes occur much quickly in which case it can cause black, tarry stools or vomiting of blood).
