Question

Which one of the following pairs of the cells with their secretion is correctly matched?

• A. Oxyntic cells-A secretion with pH between 2.0 and 3.0
• B. Alpha cells of Islets of Langerhans-Secretion that decreases blood sugar level
• C. Kupffer cells-A digestive enzyme that hydrolysis nucleic acids
• D. Sebaceous glands-A digestive enzyme that hydrolysis nucleic acids

Answer 1

The correct option is A Oxyntic cells-A secretion with pH between 2.0 and 3.0

Oxyntic cells or parietal cells, are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid and intrinsic factor. These cells secrete HCl which makes the gastric juice acidic. (pH= 2.0-3.0).

Alpha cells of islets of Langerhans secretes glucagon hormone which increases the glucose level in the blood by converting glycogen to glucose in lever cells.

Kupffer cells are specialized cells in the lever that destroy bacteria, foreign particles and worn out blood cells.

Sebaceous glands are the microscopic glands in the skin that secretes an oily/waxy matter called sebum to lubricate the skin and hair of mammals.
