The stomach lining contains three types of glands. The pyloric glands, the cardiac gastric glands, secrete mucus that covers the stomach lining and protects it from being digested. The intermediate gastric glands secrete gastric juices that has a pH of 1.5 to 2.5. this pH is do to its high concentration of hydrochloric acid, which kills most bacteria that are swallowed in food. Gastric juices also contains digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin is secreted in an inactive form called pepsinogen, which is activated after it is mixed with the hydrochloricacid. Pepsin breaks down large protein molecules into shorter chains of amino acids called polypeptides.
