Parietal cells in the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) which break bonds between compounds.
Other cells produce intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein whose presence in the digestive tract is required for the absorption of vitamin B12in the small intestine.
Chief cells in the stomach secrete pepsinogen which is converted by the acid in the gastric lumen to pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins.
The pylorus is a part of the stomach that produces gastrin. The pyloric glands also contain D cells, which release somatostatin, a hormone that inhibits the release of gastrin.
