The gastric pits are at the bottom of the infoldings of stomach’s lining epithelium. The gastric gland is located at the bottom of the gastric pits. There are different types of cells in the glad that secreted digestive enzymes. 

For example: At the base of the gland, chief cells secrete pepsinogen that digests proteins and lipase that digest fats. 

Oxyntic cells are along the length of the gland and that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl), that is required to activate other enzymes. 

Mucous neck cells secrete mucous.

Why do you think scouts could hear better through the solid ground rather than<br>through the air?​
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Sound travels better through solids than through air.

Explanation:

Think about being in the pool: you can hear a lot of things, albeit muffled a little. Or think about tapping a really long pole, and someone standing far away can hear the vibration or the noise while touching the pole.

Solids are more tightly packed together. Sound needs a medium to travel though, and anything with densely packed atoms is better than loosely packed. The hierarchy is solid > liquid > air. Kinda funny that we do most of our talking through air.
