Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Histamine secretion by the stomach is primarily regulated by the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells. These cells release histamine in response to various stimuli, including gastrin. Destruction of ECL cells would prevent histamine secretion by the stomach and likely have an impact on gastric acid secretion. Destruction of D cells (which produce somatostatin), G cells (which produce gastrin), or chief cells (which produce pepsinogen) would not have a direct effect on histamine secretion.
