Question

Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the given codes.

	Column I		Column II
A.	Mucous neck cells	(i)	HCl, Intrinsic factor
B.	Peptic/Chief cells	(ii)	Mucus
C.	Parietal/Oxyntic cells	(iii)	Pepsinogen

• A. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(i)
• B. A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(i)
• C. A-(i), B(ii), C-(iii)
• D. A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iii)

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(i)

Column I	Column II
A. Mucous neck cells	(ii) Mucus
B. Peptic/Chief cells	(iii) Pepsinogen
C. Parietal/Oxyntic cells	(i) HCL, intrinsic factor

Mucus secreted by the mucous neck cells prevent the breakdown of the wall of the stomach by the action of the acid.

Pepsinogen is an inactive enzyme that is converted into an active form called pepsin by the activity of the HCL.

HCL works for the activation of pepsinogen.

Hence, the correct answer is 'A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(i)'.
