Oxyntic cells, also known as parietal cells, are specialized cells located in the gastric glands of the stomach lining. Their primary function is to produce and secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl), which helps create an acidic environment necessary for digestion and activates the enzyme pepsin. Additionally, oxyntic cells secrete intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestine.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Does the gallbladder produce hydrochloric acid?
No, the gall bladder does not produce hydrochloric acid the oxyntic cell (chief cells) produce the hydrochloric acid.
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by what cell?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach. They are responsible for producing the acidic environment necessary for digestion and killing bacteria in the stomach.
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
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.
What does ''specialization of cell '' mean?

What is the Function that adds the values of cells in a range and divides the result by the number of cells?
The AVERAGE function.
What is the function of nutritive muscular cells?
These cells are identical in form and function to epitheliomuscular cells; the only difference is that nutritive muscular cell processes are oriented sideways, so the myoneme, when connected, run in a circle around the polyp.
What are cells that have the same function organized into?
Cells that have the same function are often organized into tissues. Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body.
