Vedclass · Answer

(D) The stomach lining contains gastric glands which consist of different types of cells.$1$. Oxyntic cells (also known as Parietal cells) are primarily responsible for the secretion of hydrochloric acid $(HCl)$ and intrinsic factor.$2$. Peptic cells (or Chief cells) secrete proenzymes like pepsinogen.$3$. Mucus neck cells secrete mucus which protects the stomach lining from the acidic environment.Therefore,the correct answer is Oxyntic cells.
