What does the parietal cell in the stomach make?
Parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach. Their main function is to produce hydrochloric acid, which assists in the chemical breakdown of food.
Chemical breakdown of protein begins in the stomach due to the presence of acid?
Hcl - hydrocholoric acid
The parietal cells in this organ produce hydrochloric acid?
stomach
What protects the stomach lining from its acid environment?
Your stomach has a mucus lining that protects it from the acid. Cells located in your stomach produce this lining.
Why does HCI acid not effect the stomach lining?
it does actually effect the stomach lining, but DNA in your stomach lining cells learn to produce cells faster. The stomach lining keeps burning away cells, but cells keep being produced.
Does iron react with hydrocholoric acid?
Yes, it does.
What organ has chief and parietal cells?
Chief and parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach.Chief cells produce pepsinogen, and parietal cells produce hydrochloric acid. Both of these products assist in the chemical breakdown of stomach contents.
Why is it necessary for the stomach to produce acid?
The stomach produces hydrochloric acid to aid digestion.
What does a stomach produce to help digest food?
stomach acid
What does the stomach produce to help digest food?
The stomach produces an acid to help digest food.
Cells in the wall of stomach produce pepsinogen. which plays a role in protein digestion. Why don't these cells digest themselves?
Because they are coated, along with the stomach, in a thick mucus made by glans in the stomach, when the mucus is penetrated by the acid, that is when ulcers are caused
Why is the PH different in certain areas of the digestive tract?
In the mucosa (inner layer of stomach), hydrochloric acid helps to break down food so that it can pass through your system yet get the nutrients it needs from the substance. The g-cells produce gastrin, which helps to produce the hydrochloric acid. This acid in your stomach is strong enough to eat right through wood. The epithelial cells create a base which coats the mucosa, protecting your stomach from the hydrochloric acid. Otherwise, the stomach would hypothetically digest itself.
