    Which of the following gastric cells indirectly help in erythropoiesis?

    A) Goblet cells

    B) Mucous cells

    C) Chief cells

    D) Parietal cells

    Correct Answer: D

Intrinsic factor is essential for the absorption of vitamin \[{{B}_{12}}\]and its deficiency causes pernicious anaemia.
