Where is a parietal cell found?
Parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach.
Do parietal cells have a cell membrane?
Yes, parietal cells (like all cells) have a cell membrane. Parietal cells have a huge surface area (their membrane has deep folds called canaliculi).
What is the medical term meaning incision of the vagus nerve?

Parietal cells
What other surgeries are done at the same time as a vagotomy?
Often, other gastrointestinal surgery is performed at the same time as the vagotomy. Part of the stomach may be removed, for instance. Vagotomy causes a decrease in peristalsis and a change in the emptying patterns of the stomach.
What other cells work with the parietal cell?
Chief cells in the stomach work with parietal cells to produce gastric acid. Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, which is activated by the acid produced by parietal cells to form pepsin, an enzyme that helps break down proteins. Together, parietal and chief cells contribute to the digestive process in the stomach.
Which kind of cell produces hydrochloric acid in the stomach?
Osteoclast (most likely from my point of view)
What organelles does the parietal cell have?
The parietal cell has several unique organelles, including mitochondria for producing energy, secretory vesicles for storing and releasing digestive enzymes, and tubulovesicles for transporting and recycling cellular materials. Additionally, parietal cells contain an extensive network of tubulovesicles called canaliculi, which are involved in the secretion of hydrochloric acid into the stomach.
What is a procedure commonly performed in conjunction with a pylorplasty?
Vagotomy
What has the author Ladislav Langer written?
