Parietal Cell

Where my Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity at?!

This is a picture of what I ate for breakfast... or rather what I wish I ate for breakfast. I'm usually lucky enough to eat the bits of cereal left on the table. Anyway, the circles in the stomach cartoon are supposed to resemble fried eggs because that's what the parietal cells of the stomach are supposed to look like! They are the principal cells for acid secretion (HCl) and to me are the coolest looking.

It's also my birthday today! I'm going to have ice cream to celebrate. Now how are my gut organs supposed to handle all the fat/sugar after my ice cream binge... hmm...
