Topic: Chief cells


  
  Stomach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pepsinogen is secreted by chief cells of the stomach and the acidic environment activates pepsinogen to form pepsin.
Lying beneath the stomach is the pancreas, and the greater omentum hangs from the greater curvature.
The cells at the base of these pits are chief cells, responsible for production of pepsinogen, an inactive precursor of pepsin, which degrades proteins.

chief cells of the gastric glands as an inert precursor-propepsin.
The bile acids are formed in the liver cells, and when the duct is ligatured they tend to accumulate in the blood.
As already mentioned, the fat is removed by the lacteals from the cells to the thoracic duct, and then to the general circulation.

 stomach
The secretions of the exocrine gastric glands – composed of the mucous, parietal, and chief cells – make up the gastric juice.
The products of the endocrine cells are secreted directly into the bloodstream and are not a part of the gastric juice.
The endocrine cells secrete the hormone gastrin, which functions in the regulation of gastric activity.

Control of secretion and motility The movement and the flow of chemicals into the stomach are controlled by both the autonomic nervous system and by various digestive system hormones.
Okra Pepsin E3 The hormone gastrin causes an increase in the secretion of HCl, pepsinogen and intrinsic factor from parietal cells in the stomach.

The flow of oxygen into cells is controlled by the correct balance and availability, not only of eicosanoids formed from cell membrane fatty acids, but also of adrenal hormones synthesized from cholesterol.
Pepsinogen (the inactive form of pepsin) is synthesized in pyramid-shaped chief cells at the base of the same glands in the fundus and corpus regions of the stomach that also house the parietal cells that produce hydrochloric acid.
My cells arc probably deficient in energy or ATP and are lacking the essential, unsaturated fatty acids that help to keep cell membranes fluid.

Antibodies are directed against intrinsic factor or parietal cells which produce intrinsic factor.
Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of intrinsic factor, a substance needed to absorb vitamin B-12 from the gastrointestinal tract.
Vitamin B-12 is necessary for the formation of red blood cells.

The lesion in the parathyroid gland in dogs is usually an adenoma, occasionally a carcinoma, composed of active chief cells.
Chief cell carcinomas tend to be larger than adenomas and fixed to the underlying tissues due to local infiltration of neoplastic cells.
