What will happen if secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked?

bio-chemistry coordination in life processes digestive system - organs process of digestion coordination in the process of digestion

  1. Gastric juice is deficient of pepsinogen

  2. Gastric juice is deficient of chymosin

  3. Deficiency of HCl leads to nonconversion of inactive pepsinogen into active pepsin

  4. Nonrelease of enterokinase from duodenal mucosa and non-conversion of trypsinogen into trypsin

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Gastric glands are numerous microscopic tubular glands formed by the epithelium of stomach. The parietal cells (oxyntic cells) are large and most numerous on the sidewalls of gastric glands. They secrete hydrochloric acid and castle intrinsic factor. The peptic cells (zymogen) cells of gastric glands secrete gastric digestive enzymes as proenzymes-pepsinogen and prorennin and a small amount of gastric amylase and gastric lipase. The hydrochloric acid maintains a strongly acidic pH of about 1.5 to 2.5 in the stomach. HCl converts pepsinogen and prorennin to pepsin and rennin respectively. 

So, the correct answer is 'Deficiency of HCl leads to nonconversion of inactive pepsinogen into active pepsin'.

Correct Option: A


Which of the following correctly describes the oesophagus?

bio-chemistry coordination in life processes digestive system - organs process of digestion coordination in the process of digestion

  1. Food moves through the oesophagus under voluntary control

  2. Food enters the oesophagus from the pyloric region of the stomach

  3. It allows the passage of chyme

  4. It is a collapsible muscular tube extending from pharynx to stomach

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • The oesophagus is a long, muscular tube that connects your mouth to your stomach. It's around 25cm (10 in) long in adults. 
  • When you swallow food, the walls of the oesophagus squeeze together (contract).
  •  This moves the food down the oesophagus to the stomach. Hence, the oesophagus is a collapsible muscular tube extending from pharynx to stomach.
So, the correct answer is ' collapsible muscular tube extending from pharynx to stomach'. 


The acidic region of gastrointestinal tract is

bio-chemistry coordination in life processes digestive system - organs process of digestion coordination in the process of digestion

  1. mouth

  2. large intestine

  3. small intestine

  4. stomach

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • Parietal cells in the stomach secrete roughly two litres of acid a day in the form of hydrochloric acid. 
  • The acid in the stomach functions to kill bacteria, and to help digestion by solubilizing food. 
  • The acid is also important to maintain the optimal pH (between 1.8-3.5) for the function of the digestive enzyme pepsin. Hence, the acidic region of the gastrointestinal tract is the stomach.
So, the correct answer is 'stomach'.
