Stomach: fundus and body
The neck, the first part of fundic glands, contains mucous neck cells (darkly staining cells) and parietal cells. Mucous neck cells secrete a mucus different from that of the surface mucous cells. Parietal (oxyntic) cells, large, spherical and eosinophilic, are responsible for the HCl production in the stomach and also secrete gastric intrinsic factor. 400x, 100x
