Question

Which one of them forms secretory enzymes for digestion?

• A. Epithelio-muscular cells
• B. Endothelio-gland cells
• C. Interstitial cells
• D. Glands

Answer 1

The correct option is B Endothelio-gland cells

The enzymes for digestion help break down the complex macromolecules into smaller ones so that these can be easily absorbed by the body. Digestive enzymes are secreted by different exocrine glands such as the salivary glands, secretory glands of the stomach, pancreas and small intestine. While the digestive enzymes are synthesized and secreted from the exocrine acinar cells. The bicarbonate present in the pancreatic juice is secreted from the epithelial cells lining small pancreatic ducts or endothelio- pancreatic gland.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
