Chief and parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach.Chief cells produce pepsinogen, and parietal cells produce hydrochloric acid. Both of these products assist in the chemical breakdown of stomach contents.
Parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach. Their main product is hydrochloric acid (HCl).
"Glands" are like tiny pits in the lining of the stomach. These glands are lined with certain cells: Parietal cells: secrete acid and intrinsic factor Mucous cells: secrete mucus Chief cells: secrete pepsinogen Enteroendocrine cells: secrete various Stem cells: create new cells (So glands are not cells)
The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid. The acid is produced by special cells called parietal or oxyntic cells. The pH of stomach acid is between 1 - 2. For more details see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_acid

Parietal cells
Parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach.
Parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach.
Parietal cells
Intrinsic factor is produced in the fundus and body of the stomach by parietal cells that line the stomach. The purpose of intrinsic factor is so vitamin B can be absorbed in the small intestine.
Parietal cells
Parietal cells have an endoplasmic reticulum organelles, tubular agranular reticulum, nucleus and vesicles. Parietal cells of the stomach secretes acid.
In the stomach.
Parietal cells and chief cells
The parietal cells of the stomach secrete hydrogen ions and chloride ions, which combine to form hydrochloric acid.
