Which type of cells secrete hydrochloric acid in the stomach?
Answer: C
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the Parietal cells.
The parietal (oxyntic) cells of the gastric glands secrete hydrochloric acid and also intrinsic factor, which is needed to absorb vitamin B12.
Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, the precursor of the enzyme pepsin. Enteroendocrine cells release hormones such as gastrin into the blood. Goblet cells produce mucus, and in the stomach mucus comes from surface mucous cells. None of them makes the acid.
