Question

why are pepsin and pepsin secreted in inactive form?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate!!!

By secreting pepsin in its inactive form, the stomach prevents digestion of protective proteins in the lining of the digestive tract. Specific cells within the gastric lining, known as the chief cells, release pepsin when stimulated by gastrin, another gastrointestinal hormone, and acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter.
