Which of the following gastric cells indirectly help in erythropoiesis ?A. Goblet cellsB. Mucous cellsC. Chief cellsD. Parietal cells |
Answer» Correct Answer - D Parietal or oxyntic cell is a source of HCl and intrinsic factor. HCl converts iron present in diet from ferric to ferrous form so that it can be absorbed easily and used during erythropoiesis. Intrinsic factor is essential for the absorption of vitamin `B_(12)` and its deficiency causes pernicious anaemia. |
