The digestion in stomach is taken care of by the gastric glands present in the wall of the stomach. Which of the following are released by these glands?
(A) Trypsin enzyme
(B) Pepsin enzyme
(C) Hydrochloric acid
(D) Mucus
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (B), (C) and (D) only
The gastric glands pour out three things: hydrochloric acid, which makes the medium acidic and kills germs; the enzyme pepsin, which digests proteins; and mucus, which protects the stomach lining from the acid.
Trypsin is not among them — it is secreted by the pancreas and works in the small intestine.
