In which organ is hcl produced?
the stomach. Stomach wall cells, in detail.
Why do the walls of stomach secret HCL?
The stomach secretes HCL to partially digest the food and to kill any bacteria present in the food.
How does your body make hydrochloric acid in your stomach?
As protein enters the stomach, it binds to hydrogen ions, which lowers the pH of the stomach to around pH 1-3. Inhibition of gastrin and HCl secretion is lifted. This triggers G cells to release gastrin, which in turn stimulates parietal cells to secrete HCl. HCl release is also triggered by acetylcholine and histamine.
What cells produce pepsinogen and hcl?
Chief cells of the stomach (gastric glands in stomach have chief cells)
What cell secretes the hormone that promote production of HCL?
The hormone gastrin functions to increase HCl production in the stomach. Gastric is secreted by G cells.

Which digestive system organ is the target of gastrin?
Parietal cells in the stomach, which secrete HCl
What acid do the cells in the lining of your stomach release?
HCl, or Hydorchloric Acid
What is normal pH of stomach?
The normal pH of the stomach is about 2-3 and is caused by a high concentration of HCl secreted by the parietal cells of the stomach.

Why don't protease digest stomach and small intestine?
The protease released in the stomach is pepsin. When it is released it's in an inactive form called pepsinogen. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is also released. HCL actives the pepsinogen to pepsin so it can break down protein. Both HCL and pepsinogen are released from different cells in the glands so they don't combine until they are released into the stomach, this prevents them from eating away the stomach wall. ALSO the stomach secretes a coating of mucus from epithelial cells which helps protect the stomach lining from being digested by pepsin and HCL.

The hormone gastrin functions to increase HCl production in the stomach. Gastric is secreted by G cells.
What is the best acid that represents a stomach?
The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid. The acid is produced by special cells called parietal or oxyntic cells. The pH of stomach acid is between 1 - 2. For more details see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_acid
Is the acid in your stomach HCI or HCL?
The acid in your stomach is HCl with a lowercase L.
What does gastrin stimulate?
Gastrin is a hormone secreted by the stomach which stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid, increase motility, and stomach emptying.
