Q

hcl and pepsin

A

hcl: secreted by pareital cells: dissolves food, activates pepsin, stimulates release of other digetstive enzymes, , kills harmful bacteria i food
pepsin: digests proteins into small peptiedes.

Q

Parietal cells are stimulanted by 3 hormones

A

gastrin: stimulates stomach acid secretion and motility
histamine: in response to gastrin- THIS STIMULATES THE PARIETAL CELLS TO SECRETE HCL
acetylcholine: stimulates parietal cells to secretes hydrochloric acid
