What will happen if HCl secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an inhibitor?
1. Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin
2. Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen
3. In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen
is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin
4. Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal
mucosa and so trypsinogen is not converted to trypsin
