Answer:
Four major types of secretory epithelial cells cover the surface of the stomach and extend down into gastric pits and glands: Mucous cells: secrete an alkaline mucus that protects the epithelium against shear stress and acid. Parietal cells: secrete hydrochloric acid. Chief cells: secrete pepsin, a proteolytic enzyme.
