Gastric Glands (LM)
Light micrograph of gastric glands; parietal cells orange, peptic cells pink and bubbly. Parietal cells (also called oxyntic cells) secrete gastric acid; peptic cells (also gastric chief cell or gastric zymogenic cell) release pepsinogen, gastric lipase and rennin. Peptic cells stain basophilic upon H&E prep.
