What will happen if the secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an inhibitor?
-
- Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin
- Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen
- In the absence of HCI secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin
- Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal mucosa and so trypsinogen is not converted to trypsin
Correct Option: C
If the secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an inhibitor, in the absence of HCI secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin.
