2. an inner longitudinal and an outer circular layer.
3. both circular layers
4. both longitudinal layers

Which of the following gastric secretory cells is correctly matched with its secretion(s)?

1. Chief cells - gastrin

2. parietal cells -- hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor

3. enteroendocrine cells -- mucus and hormones

4. mucous cells -- pepsinogen and mucus

Sphincter of Oddi will guard the opening of

In the given diagram showing anatomical regions of the human stomach, A,B and C respectively represent :

1. Fundus, Cardia and Pylorus

2. Cardia, Pylorus and Fundus

3. Fundus, Pylorus and Cardia

The enzyme that is not present in succus entericus is

(1) maltase

(2) nucleases

(3) nucleosidase

(4) lipase

Which one of the following statement is false regarding digestion and absorption of food

in humans?

1. Oxyntic cells in our stomach secrete the proenzyme pepsinogen.

2. Glucose and amino acids are absorbed with the help of carrier ions like Na⁺.

3. Chylomicrons are small lipoprotein particles that are transported from intestine into

blood capillaries.

4. About 30% of starch is hydrolysed by salivary amylase in our mouth.

What will happen if the 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 trypsinogcn is not

converted to trypsin

1. A = Amylase, B = Maltase, C = Lactase,D = Invertase

2. A = Amylase, B = Maltase, C = Invertase,D = Lactase

3. A = Amylase, B = Invertase, C = Maltase, D = Lactase

4. A = Amylase, B = Lactase, C = Maltase, D = Invertase
