Parietal cells (or oxyntic cells) are epithelium cells found in the gastric mucosa, they secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor (which is required for vitamin B12 absorption).
Chief cells are not the same as parietal cells. Chief cells secrete pepsinogen and rennin.

Hydrochloric acid is secreted by what cell?
Parietal (oxyntic) cells,,
What is the best acid that represents a stomach?
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
What is oxyntic mucosa?
75% of gastric glands are present in Oxyntic Mucosa and contain endocrine,chief,parietal and enterochromaffin cells. Oxyntic mucosa is a subtype of mucosal lining present in gastric lumen,a neck like structure subdevided in isthmus,neck and base(fundus)wher all these glands are found Regards, Manjary Upadhyay, Business Training Manager, True Care Business, Piramal Health Care, Delhi
Does the gallbladder produce hydrochloric acid?

What type of juice of found in the stomach?
The juice secreted by the stomach lining is called gastric juice. ("Gastric" just means "stomach".)It is strongly acidic, with a pH of about 2. The acidity is contributed by hydrochloric acid (which is released at a pH of about 1) secreted by parietal (= oxyntic cells) in the stomach epithelium (inner lining).The juice also contains pepsinogen (a precursor of the enzyme pepsin, which digests proteins) and rennin, which facilitates the digestion of lipids; these are produced by chief cells.The stomach epithelium also secretes mucus (from mucous cells) to protect the stomach itself both physically and chemically.
Name each different type of gastric gland and the products that they produce?
cell-->secretion-->function: 1)mucus cell-->goblet cells-->acidic mucus, 2)chief cell-->pepsinogen-->protein digesting enzyme, 3) parietal cell-->HCl and intinsic factor-->provides surface area, and 4) G cell-->gastrin(hormone)-->regulates stomach secretion.
Is intestinal metaplasia dangerous?
diagnosis ulcerated gastric hyperplastic poly with focal intestinal metaplasia with lymphoplasmactic infiltrate also gastric oxyntic-type mucosa with lymphoid aggregate what does this mean
What is the lumen of the GI tract?

What are Famotidine and what is it used for?
A histamine H2 antagonist used in the treatment of duodenal ulcers to reduce hydrochloric acid secretion. Therapy and treatment of duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, control gastric pH in critically ill patients, symptomatic relief in gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux, active benign ulcer, and pathological hypersecretory conditions
PH for gastric juices?
This pH level is approx. 2.
Which binary compound helps digest food in your stomach?
Hydrochloric acid. It turns inactive Pepsinogen enzyme secreted by Chief cells into enzyme Pepsin witch in turn the Pep-tide bond between Amine acids. Hydrochloric acid is secreted by Oxyntic cells and it takes lot of Energy to get high concentration of Hydrogen ions into the secretion, witch may be million times more than plasma.
