What makes up gastric fluid?

What is the function of pepsin in the stomach?
The gastric juice needs to be acid so that it can break down the food to go to the intestine. The muscles of the stomach wall contract vigorously so that the food is mixed with the gastric juice. Pepsinogen is made by the presence of gastric juice. This digests protein. Seeing, smelling, tasting or thinking about food starts the production of gastric juice.

Which hormones stimulate gastric juice secretion?
You have the glands in the wall of stomach. You have the cells that secrete the mucus. You have the chief cells that secrete the precursor of the enzyme pepsin. This precursor is called as pepsinogen. Then you have the parietal cells that produce the hydrochloric acid. You have the hormones that induce the production of the gastric juice, when food enters the stomach. The same is controlled through the autonomic nervous system also. Like when you see or smell the food.
