An ednoscopic biopsy of 37 yr old man with progressive heartburn over the past 6 months, shows esophagitis of the lower part of esophagus. The most likely cause othe the esophageal changes is a substance secreted by which of the following:
a) G-gastrin cells
b) chief cells
c) goblet
d) mucous cells
e) parietal cells
Any help is apreciated. Thanks!

parietal cell secretes HCl.....which can lead to erosion of lower esophageal lining...long standing exposure can lead to Barretts esophagus....
