Verified by Toppr

The correct option is D Oxyntic cells
  • Oxyntic cells (parietal cells) are large and are most numerous on the sidewalls of the gastric glands.
  • They are called oxyntic cells because they stain strongly with eosin dye.
  • They are called parietal cells as they lie against the basement membrane.
  • They secrete hydrochloric acid and Castle's intrinsic factor. Hence, Option D is correct.
