Answer 2

Answer:

Answer ♡

The three secretions of Gastric Glands are Mucus, pepsinogen and HCl and their specific role

• Mucus neck cells secrete mucus. Mucus provides lubrication and protection to the mucosal epithelium from the excoriating effect of HCl.
• Peptic or chief cells secrete pepsinogen. Pepsinogen converts proteins into proteoses which are further converted into peptones.
• Oxyntic cells or parietal cells which secrete HCl and intrinsic factors. HCl provides acidic pH 1.8 which is necessary for the action of pepsins. Intrinsic factors are required for the absorption of vitamin B12.
