Question 9

Given here is the histological diagram of the mammalian stomach. Its mucosal membrane is profusely folded and the pit-like infoldings distally form numerous simple or branched tubular gastric glands occurring in the fundus and corpus part. The principal type of cells found in each gland are labeled 1 - 4.

Choose the correct option representing Pepsinogen, Hydrochloric Acid, Gastrin Hormone and Mucus-secreting cells, respectively (1 to 4).

In a gastric gland the mucous neck cells lie near the top (label 1), the parietal (oxyntic) cells secreting HCl lie in the middle region (label 3), the G cells secreting gastrin lie lower down (label 4), and the chief (peptic) cells secreting pepsinogen are at the base (label 2). So pepsinogen, HCl, gastrin and mucus correspond to 2, 3, 4 and 1.
