Answer #1
  1. Gastric glands:-present in the lamina propria of the mucous membrane and they open into the bases of the gastric pits formed by the epithelium. The various cells of the glands secrete mucus, pepsinogen, hydrochloric acid, intrinsic factor, gastrin, and bicarbonate. The secretions is  exocrine which make up the gastric juice.
