Answer 1

Answer:

The chief cells are found in the basal regions of the gland and release a zymogen – pepsinogen, a precursor to pepsin. The parietal cells ("parietal" means "relating to a wall") are found in the walls of the tubes. The parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid–the main component of gastric acid.

Answer 2

The gastric gland is the basic secretory unit of the stomach and contains a variety of component cells located in characteristic locations. The gland begins at the gastric pit, the opening to the lumen of the stomach.
