Chief cells are found in glands that line the inside of the stomach. These cells secrete large amounts of enzymes to aid in food
digestion. Which cellular structure would you expect to be more abundant in chief cells because of their high rate of enzyme secretion Cytoskeleton
Nuclear envelope
Endoplasmic reticulum
Cell wall
One of the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum is transport of secretory proteins. Synthesized proteins are transported in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus.
Gastric chief cells have a high rate of enzyme secretion such as pepsinogen and gastric lipase. It is the cell also responsible for secretion of chymosin.
