Which organ secretes HCI?

What is the relationship between gastric juices pepsin and mucus?
Pepsin is an enzyme secreted in the stomach to break down proteins. Mucus on the other hand is produced in the nasal passages to help trap dirt and bacteria. The mucus is then transported to the back of our throats and into our stomach by the process of swallowing... mmm, tasty. *** Mucus protects the stomach from the gastric juices and hydrochloric acid (HCI). Pepsin is produced by the chief cells, and is turned into pepsinogen (by the hormone gastrin produced in the brain). Pepsinogen helps break down proteins in your stomach.
What produces HCI and pepsinogen?
The pancreas produces hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
Name each different type of gastric gland and the products that they produce?
cell-->secretion-->function: 1)mucus cell-->goblet cells-->acidic mucus, 2)chief cell-->pepsinogen-->protein digesting enzyme, 3) parietal cell-->HCl and intinsic factor-->provides surface area, and 4) G cell-->gastrin(hormone)-->regulates stomach secretion.
Loperamide hci 2 mg?
Anti diarrheal
Does Loperamide hci over time make your hair fall out?
I do not know what you mean by 'hci'. Loperamide is an oral tablet given usually for diarrhoea. I checked the British national Formulary 2008, and it does not give , 'falling hair' as a side effect. Even I have not encountered this in my practice. You may wait for more answers.
Where can hci be found in your body?
In stomach
Is the acid in your stomach HCI or HCL?

Which organ secretes HCI?

Why doesn't HCI burn in stomach?
Its in a diluted form. Therefor its much more neutralized.
Gastrin which prods the stomach glands to produce more enzymes and HCI represents?
Hormonal stimulus
In the stomach HCI helps to catalyze the formation of pepsin from pepsinogen to do what task?
Pepsin is the enzyme that starts the digestion of proteins in the stomach. Specifically, it acts on proteins and breaks them into polypeptides
Why does HCI acid not effect the stomach lining?
it does actually effect the stomach lining, but DNA in your stomach lining cells learn to produce cells faster. The stomach lining keeps burning away cells, but cells keep being produced.
WHAT IS HCI in the tummy?
HCL (Hydrochloric acid, made from a ionic bonding of Hydrogen and Chlorine) in the stomach is an acid that dissolves the things you eat.
Why do you refer to the reaction between an antacid and stomach HCI as an example of neutralization?
Because the antacid neutralizes the the HCl in the stomach (or at least in excess amount) to produce water and a salt, and it is good example of neutralization reaction.
What is the role of HCI in the stomach?
It breaks down food so the digestive tract can absorb the nutrients.
