Answer:

Option D, Rennin

Explanation:

Options

A) replacing of damaged epithelial mucosa cells

B) tight junctions of epithelial mucosa cells  

C) thick coating of bicarbonate-rich mucus  

D) rennin

Solution

The gastric mucosal barrier is made up of three major elements –  

a) Submucosal Elements

b) Epithelial Elements

c) Mucus Elements

The mucosa of the stomach gets exposed to the highly corrosive acidity of gastric juice due to which there is a risk of self-digestion of the stomach due to acidity.  

Mucosal barrier prevent the stomach from self-digestion

The components of this layer include  

a) Thick coating of bicarbonate-rich mucus on the stomach wall – restricts the neutralization of bicarbonate ions as mucus acts as a physical barrier

b) The epithelial cells of the tight junction of the stomach’s mucosa block entry of gastric juice  

c) Gastric glands joining the gastric pits consists of stem cell that replace damaged epithelial mucosal cells

Hence, option D

What is the fate of amino acids released after protein digestion or turnover.
olasank [31]

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are digested in the gastrointestinal tract into peptides,polypeptides and single amino acids using hydrochloric acid and proteases. After protein digestion amino acids are absorbed by the jejunum in the small intestines and taken up by capillaries to the blood stream. They then travel in the blood to the liver, joins the urea cycle where they are metabolised for cell growth and tissue repairs.
