Beta cells
C
Parietal cells
D
Goblet cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is asking about the specific type of cell in the human body responsible for producing hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Recall that hydrochloric acid is a component of gastric acid, which is found in the stomach and plays a crucial role in digestion.
Identify the different types of cells present in the stomach lining: chief cells, parietal cells, goblet cells, and others.
Recognize that parietal cells, also known as oxyntic cells, are the ones responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Conclude that among the given options, parietal cells are the correct answer as they produce hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the human body.
