Hydrogen chloride is a gas but it is more well known dissolved as HCl(aq), or hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is a very useful chemical reagent but it is also used as a disinfectant at low concentrations. In humans, hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach to facilitate the destruction of potential pathogens and begin the process of protein digestion by denaturing proteins and activating pepsinogen.
Chemical digestion of proteins begin in the stomach.In the stomach.The digestion of proteins begin at the stomach.The stomach. There are recesses in the wall of the stomach called pits. These pits produces pepsinogen and HCl as well are protective mucous. Pepsinogen is the zymogen (inactive form) of pepsin the enxyme which breaks down protein. It is cleaved form the zymogen form into the active form in very low pH situations, this is why HCl is secreted here.MouthChemical digestion of protein starts in the stomach.It would begin in the stomach. It would occur by the action of an enzyme called pepsin.In the stomach

Pepsin, which is used to break down proteins, cannot work unless it is in an acid environment. Due to this fact, the stomach secretes both pepsin and hydrochloric acid to digest the protein in a meal.
The salivary glands in the mouth secrete enzymes in saliva that begin chemical digestion.
If you are looking for an organ directly involved with food we eat, it would be the small intestine (with small amounts in the stomach and large intestine, but the primary function of the small intestine is this).If you are talking chemicals (medicines or the stuff we get out of food) the most common site is the liver, but it is by no means the only site.
to begin the digestion of proteins
That depends on how dilute the hydrochloric acid is. Your stomach naturally produces hydrochloric acid as part of the natural human digestive process. If you just drank a liter of water and had little in your stomach to begin with, your stomach would then contain a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid.

Aluminum and Arsenic are chemical elements. They begin with the letter A.
There are no chemical elements that begin with the letter w. There are chemical elements that begin with all letters except J, Q and W.
