What type of acid is secreted by the gastric pits in the stomach?
Gastric juice is secreted from gastric glands, which are located in narrow tube like structures called gastric pits. Gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, pepsinogenand mucus in a healthy adult. Hydrochloric acid is secreted by parietal cells, pepsinogen is secreted by gastric chief cells and mucus is secreted by mucus neck cells. Source: Wikipedia
What are the three substances secreted by various cell that are found in the with in gastric pit area of the stomach?
Acid, Mucus and Hormones. The hormones secreted by the stomach include proteases such as pepsinogen and prorennin. The acid is HCL (Hydrochloric acid). It helps in killing the germs, prevents the decay of food and also activates the inactive hormones into pepsin and rennin which help in the digestion of proteins. Mucus is secreted to protect the lining of stomach from corrosion due to the highly acidic HCL present in the stomach.

Why is gastric juice acidic?
Yes it is. The proper name for it is Gastric Acid.
Pepsinogen is the precursor to the gastric enzyme for protein digestion and is secreted by the parietal cells?
it is secreted by stomach glands as an inactive proenzyme, pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin by the cleavage of acid-labile linkages in the acidic (low pH) environment of the stomach.
What is the lumen of the GI tract?
The gastric lumen is the watery space that fills the stomach. Digestive enzymes and juices are secreted from the oxyntic mucosa and Pyloric Gland Area into the gastric lumen. The Fundus, Body and Anterum are the "sections" of the stomach.
