Chief cells

• LM:

Secreto – Lower columnar; ry – basophilic; granule – Nucleus located in the lower parts.

– Secretory granules. • EM:

nucle us

– Gol , Apical of the nucleus; – mit. & rER ,basal part of cytoplasm; – Secretory granules, apical of cytoplasm.

• Function : pepsinogen

rE R

Parietal cells • LM:

microvilli

– C large ， cone-shaped or round. – acidophilic. – Nucleus is round ,centrical. • EM – Introcellular secretory canaliculi & nucleu microvilli. s – Tubulovesicular system. Introcellular – Mit. arecanaliculi abundant. Mitochondr ia • functions: – Hcl & intrinsic factor.
