Gastric Gland

which cells occur throughout the length of the gland and are responsible for the production of hydrochloric acid

Parietal, or oxyntic

what may reduce gastric secretion

Psychological states of fear, sadness, or withdrawal

Glands in the terminal stomach portion

Pyloric

purpose of mucous neck cells

secrete mucus

secretion of gastric juices can be stimulated by

tasting smelling thinking of food

intermediate gastric glands composed of which three major cell type

zymogenic parietal mucous neck cells

what are at the base of the intermediate gastric gland

zymogenic (chief) cells

Gastric glands located at the very beginning of the stomach

Cardiac

Gastric glands in the central stomach areas

Intermediate

Three types of gastric glands distinguished from one another by location and type of secretion

Intermediate, Cardiac Pyloric

food contains chemicals that

activate enzyme production

what function do Parietal, or oxyntic cells have

activate enzymes produce hydrochloric acid

what function has mucus

coats the stomach and protects it from self-digestion by helping to dilute acids and enzymes

what stimulates mucus secretion

consuming food

what does rennin do

curdles milk

what does pepsin do

digests proteins

what do chief cells produce

enzymes pepsin and rennin

branched tubules in the inner lining of the stomach that secrete gastric juice and protective mucus

gastric gland

most of the digestive substances are secreted by which stomach gland

intermediate gastric glands

what do intermediate gastric glands produce

most of the digestive substances secreted by the stomach

what do cardiac and pyloric glands secrete

mucus

what are intermediate gastric glands composed of

narrow tubules composed of three major cell types zymogenic, parietal, and mucous neck cells.
