Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of parietal cells in the stomach lining. Parietal cells are responsible for producing hydrochloric acid (HCl), which is crucial for digestion.

Recognize the function of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. HCl helps break down food, provides an acidic environment for enzymes to function, and kills bacteria.

Differentiate between the types of cells found in the gastric glands of the stomach lining: G cells, chief cells, enteroendocrine cells, mucous cells, and parietal cells.

Identify the specific function of each cell type: G cells secrete gastrin, chief cells produce pepsinogen, enteroendocrine cells release various hormones, mucous cells secrete mucus, and parietal cells produce HCl.

Conclude that parietal cells are the correct answer as they are the ones responsible for producing hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach.
