Digestive cells are specialized cells in the body that play a crucial role in breaking down food. They are primarily found in the lining of the stomach and intestines. These cells produce enzymes and acids that help to digest food into smaller, absorbable nutrients. There are different types of digestive cells, including chief cells, which secrete digestive enzymes, and parietal cells, which produce stomach acid. Together, these cells ensure that the digestive process runs smoothly, allowing the body to absorb essential nutrients and energy from the food we eat.
