The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of how many of the listed glands release secretions that do not contain a zymogen, we will analyze each gland one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Fundic Glands**: - The fundic glands are located in the stomach and primarily secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor. - **Conclusion**: Fundic glands do not release zymogens. 2. **Parotid Glands**: - The parotid glands are major salivary glands that secrete saliva, which contains the enzyme amylase. - **Conclusion**: Parotid glands do not release zymogens. 3. **Pancreatic Acini**: - The pancreatic acini are part of the pancreas and secrete digestive enzymes, including zymogens like trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, which are inactive forms of enzymes. - **Conclusion**: Pancreatic acini do release zymogens. 4. **Hepatic Lobules**: - Hepatic lobules are the functional units of the liver and produce bile, which does not contain zymogens. - **Conclusion**: Hepatic lobules do not release zymogens. 5. **Intestinal Glands**: - Intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice (succus entericus), which contains enzymes such as peptidases and sucrase, but also contains zymogens. - **Conclusion**: Intestinal glands do release zymogens. ### Summary of Findings: - Fundic Glands: No zymogen - Parotid Glands: No zymogen - Pancreatic Acini: Yes, zymogen - Hepatic Lobules: No zymogen - Intestinal Glands: Yes, zymogen ### Final Count: The glands that do not release zymogens are: - Fundic Glands - Parotid Glands - Hepatic Lobules Thus, the total number of glands that do not release zymogens is **3**. ### Answer: **3**
