Intercalated ducts produce bicarbonate in the pancreas.
It neutralizes acid from the stomach.
Stomach
antacid
no
The pancreas secretes bicarbonate in order to neutralize the highly acidic chyme (dissolved/digested food) coming from the stomach.
The pancreatic juice, that is alkaline due to bicarbonate ions, neutralizes the acid contents of the stomach as they both enter the duodenum.
Yes, it neutralizes the acid and produces water and CaCl2.
Pancreatic juices after food has passed through the stomach are secreted which neutralizes the stomach acid
The lining of the stomach continuously secretes a basic solution that lines the mucus membrane of the stomach. This base, a bicarbonate based compound, neutralizes the acid and produces water on a continuous basis.
Cells in the stomach lining ooze mucus that neutralizes acid upon contact.
And acid plus an alkali produces water and a salt.
