Q

in autoimmune chronic gastritis the parietal cells are destroyed….what do they secrete that is important for RBCs and what can this lead to?

A

secrete intrinsic factor for B12 absorption…without that you get macrocytic anemia which is called pernicious anemia

often in the pancreas

43
Q

what happens in zollinger ellison syndrome due to the increased gastrin levels?
