Which organ in the body produces acid to kill microbes?

The stomach produces acid to kill microbes. It secretes hydrochloric acid, creating an acidic environment that helps to break down food and kill harmful bacteria and pathogens that may enter the digestive system.


What does the stomach do to defend against microbes?

The stomach defends against microbes by secreting digestive enzymes and acid that can kill many harmful pathogens. Additionally, the stomach's lining has a protective layer of mucous that helps prevent microbes from invading the stomach tissue. The acidic environment also helps to break down food to make it less hospitable for microbial growth.
