Q

What does zymogen storage prevent?

A

It prevents cellular digestion

17
Q

What is pepsin secretion controlled by?

A

Gastrin
Histamine
Ach

18
Q

What does a low pH convert pepsin to?

A

Pepsinogen

19
Q

What is gastric mucus produced by?

A

Surface epithelium and mucus neck cells

20
Q

What is the function of gastric mucus?

A

Protects the mucosa from mechanical injury

21
Q

Name the 3 functions that a neutral Ph in the stomach protects against

A

Gastric acid, corrosion and pepsin digestion

22
Q

What is the role of the intrinsic factor?

A

Binds with vitamin B12 in the stomach which is then absorbed in the ileum

It ensures that the erythrocytes have a biconcave disc shape
