What organ has chief and parietal cells?

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 gastric mucosa and secretes hydrochloric acid in stomach. They are also known as Chief cells or oxyntic cells.?

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.

Gastric glands which secrete:HClRenninpepsin


What cells secrete hydrochloric acid?

Chief cells lining the stomach. (They actually secrete H+ and Cl- ions individually, but it becomes HCl in the solution).


What cells are found in the gastric glands?

I would say chief cells since they secrete pesinogen whereas parietal cells secrete HCl which tecnically aids in chemical digestion but has other functions as welll. Obviously, HCl alone is not enough to perform chemical digestion which is why more complex molecules such as pesinogen which is converted to pepsin is produced.
