Parietal cells (also known as oxyntic or delomorphous cells) are the epithelial cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor. These cells are located in the gastric glands found in the lining of the fundus and in the cardia of the stomach

Parietal cells sometimes referred to as oxyntic cells, are stomach epithelial cells that release intrinsic factors and hydrochloric acid (HCl).
About Parietal cells:
- These cells are present in the stomach's gastric glands, which are situated in the fundus and body regions.
- The HCl is released by active transport into the stomach from a vast secretory network of canaliculi in these organs.
- An adaptation seen on stomach parietal cells is a canaliculus.
- It is a small channel or deep infolding that is used to enhance the surface area, such as for secretion.
- The number of canaliculi fluctuates in the parietal cell membrane in response to secretory demand.
- The stomach lumen is kept in a very acidic environment by the cellular export of hydrogen ions.
- By encouraging the unfolding (or denaturing) of ingested proteins, the acidity facilitates food digestion.
- Peptide connections connecting the individual amino acids in proteins are made visible when they unfold.
- Pepsinogen, a zymogen, is concurrently broken down by gastric HCl into active pepsin, an endopeptidase that speeds up digestion by rupturing the suddenly exposed peptide bonds, a procedure known as proteolysis.
