Does the stomach contain hormone producing cells?
"Glands" are like tiny pits in the lining of the stomach. These glands are lined with certain cells: Parietal cells: secrete acid and intrinsic factor Mucous cells: secrete mucus Chief cells: secrete pepsinogen Enteroendocrine cells: secrete various Stem cells: create new cells (So glands are not cells)
What cells are susceptible to mutation?
Any cell, other than red blood cells (which have no genetic material in them) can have mutations. In most cases these mutations are not inheritable, since most cells are not involved directly in the reproductive process. A cell that mutates may become cancerous. Beneficial mutations are rare, although important in the evolutionary process.
Is an animal's stomach is a example of a specialized cell?
No, an animal's stomach is an organ made up of several different types of specialized cells, such as mucous-secreting cells, acid-secreting cells, and digestive enzyme-secreting cells. These cells work together to carry out the function of the stomach, which is to break down food for digestion.
Does a cell in your stomach contain genes for brain cells?
No, a cell in your stomach does not contain genes for brain cells. Different types of cells express different sets of genes to carry out their specific functions in the body. Brain cells and stomach cells have different gene expression profiles to support their distinct roles in the body.
Why does mucous layer get formed in the stomach?
The mucus layer in the stomach is secreted by specialized cells called goblet cells. It is important for protecting the stomach lining from the acidic digestive juices and enzymes produced in the stomach. The mucus layer acts as a physical barrier that helps prevent damage to the stomach tissue.
Are stomach cells haploid or diploid?
Stomach cells are normal body cells and are therefore diploid.
How long do cells in the stomach survive?
stomach lining cells live for about 2 days
Why does HCI acid not effect the stomach lining?
it does actually effect the stomach lining, but DNA in your stomach lining cells learn to produce cells faster. The stomach lining keeps burning away cells, but cells keep being produced.
By what process are stomach cells formed?
Stomach cells are formed through a process called cell differentiation, where less specialized cells called stem cells in the stomach lining differentiate into mature stomach cells with specific functions, such as mucus-secreting cells, parietal cells, and chief cells. This process is tightly regulated by genetic and environmental factors to ensure proper development and maintenance of the stomach tissue.
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by which of the secretory cells of the stomach?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach lining. These cells are responsible for producing the acidic environment in the stomach that aids in digestion.
What role do cells play preventing the stomach from digesting itself?
Epithelial cells lining the inside stomach secrete a substance which prevents the stomach acid harming the lining of the stomach.
What are mucus cells called?
Goblet cells stomach

Why can't you find brain cells in your stomach and stomach cells in your brain?
Brain cells remain in the brain. They are the building blocks of the brain. If the brain cells were in the stomach, you'd have a brain in your stomach! Same goes for the stomach and all parts of the body. In my yoga class my instructor mentioned that there are more brain cells in the stomach than in the brain, I wanted to find out if it was true and I came across this article. So maybe you can have cells "in the wrong places"...... (look below under related links)
Where is hydrochloric acid secreted in the digestive system?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach. These cells are located in the gastric glands lining the stomach wall. Hydrochloric acid plays a key role in the digestion of food by creating an acidic environment in the stomach.
How does digested food get to cells?
Well, the food goes to your stomach and into your bladder to get to your cells.
What are the types of secretory cells in the stomach and what do they secrete?
Gastric glands which secrete:HClRenninpepsin
