    A. Peptic cells p. mucus
    B. Oxyntic cells q. Alkaline fluid
    C. Goblet cells r. Pro-enzymes
    s. HCL

    A)  A = p, B = p, C = s

    B)  A = s, B = r, C = t

    C)  A = s, B = p, C = q

    D)  A = r, B = s, C = p

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [a] Peptic cells (= chief or zymogenic or zymogen   cells)   secrete   gastric digestive enzymes as proenzymes. [b] Oxyntic cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl). They are called oxyntic cells because they strain strongly with eosin. [c] Goblet cells (= mucus cells) secrete mucus. The secretion of all these three cells form gastric juice with pH 2-3.7.
