Nervous System Intro

What do parietal cells in the stomach produce?

• Neurotransmitters

• Stomach acid

• Histamine

• Muscle contraction filaments

What is the primary function of mast cells in the immune system?

• Producing stomach acid

• Releasing substances like histamine for the inflammatory response

• Muscle contraction

• Signal transmission in the nervous system

What are skeletal muscle cells also known as?
