excessive secretion of gastric juice or mucus in the stomach
it is the mucus secretion
prostaglandins. prostaglandins protect the mucosal barrier by stimulating the secretion of mucus and bicarbonate and b inhibiting secretions of acid. medicines that block prostaglandins therefore blocks mucus production.
== == The secretion itself is spelled "mucus". The membranes that secrete mucus are called the "mucous membranes", hence the difference in the two spellings. It *is* confusing since they are both pronounced the same way.
Well one of the answers i know of is that your mucus coats the inside of your stomach preventing your stomach acids from eating through your body.
Jack Dombrowski makes mucus in the stomach
it lined with mucus to help digest the food chemically and to keep the stomach from acid
Mucus protects stomach lining from gastric acids.
No, mucus is not a muscle but a secretion in epithelial tissue.
Mucus acts like lining to catch debris in the air; in the stomach it acts like a thick coating to help the stomach keep its acidic environment normal, so the acid wont burn through the stomach
Without mucus your stomach would eat it self. The acids help break food down.
The stomach is protected from acid by mucus, a slippery substance. The mucus covers the inside of the whole stomach. If there is a patch of mucus that is not there then it will cause a lot of pain from the acid.
