Answer 1

According to me the answer should be oxyntic cells.

Answer 2

The correct answer is oxyntic cells.

The fundic gland consists of a large number of oxyntic cells that are also known as the acid secreting cells. They are also located in the body of the stomach. Morphologically theses cells are straight tubes, in which two or more than two opens into a single duct. They secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor for the digestion of food.
