This gastric juice component is produced by the chief cells of the gastric glands in an inactive form:
Intrinsic factor
mucus
hydrochloric acid
pepsinogen
The Correct Answer is D
A. Intrinsic factor: intrinsic factor is secreted by parietal cells, not produced as an inactive zymogen by chief cells.
B. mucus: mucus is secreted by mucous cells and is not an inactive enzyme precursor.
C. hydrochloric acid: HCl is secreted by parietal cells as acid, not an inactive enzyme precursor from chief cells.
D. pepsinogen: chief cells secrete pepsinogen, an inactive zymogen that is activated (to pepsin) by HCl.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Radial: The radial pulse is palpated at the lateral (thumb) side of the wrist between the tendons of the flexor carpi radialis and the abductor pollicis longus -it is superficial and commonly used clinically, so this is the correct pulse for a wrist/forearm highlighted area.
B. Ulnar: The ulnar pulse lies on the medial (pinky) side of the wrist and is deeper and often harder to palpate than the radial; it would not be the best choice if the highlighted area is lateral at the thumb side.
C. Brachial: The brachial pulse is felt on the medial aspect of the arm (at the antecubital fossa or just medial to the biceps tendon) and is used for infants or blood pressure -it is not located at the distal wrist.
D. Dorsalis pedis: The dorsalis pedis pulse is on the dorsum of the foot (between the tendons over the instep) and is unrelated to a wrist/forearm highlighting.
