TestHub · Accepted Answer

Chief cells (peptic cells) of the gastric glands secrete the proenzyme pepsinogen.

Acinar cells are the exocrine cells of the pancreas that secrete pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes.

Parietal cells (oxyntic cells) of the gastric glands secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor, which is essential for the absorption of vitamin $B_{12}$ .

Hepatic cells (hepatocytes) of the liver secrete bile juice.

Therefore, the correct matching is A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II.

Answer: A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II
