Question

the intrinsic factor is important for the absorption of vitamin___​

Answer 1

Answer:

B 12

Explanation:

Intrinsic factor is secreted by parietal cells of the gastric glands in the stomach, where it binds with the vitamin. Thus bound, intrinsic factor protects vitamin B 12 from digestion as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract and facilitates the vitamin’s absorption in the ileum of the small intestine.
