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.
What hormones are produced in the duodenal wall?
The duodenal wall produces the hormones secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK). Secretin stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid, while CCK stimulates the gallbladder to release bile and the pancreas to release digestive enzymes in response to the presence of fatty acids and amino acids in the duodenum.
What is a function of gastric mucosa?
mucosa cells have several purposes. one being lubrication of the vital organs. for instance pluracy is caused by mucosa cells around the lungs not providing enough lubrication for the lungs to move when you breath. mucosa cells are also in your sinus cavities in your head to prevent foreign bacteria or infection from entering the body. there are also mucous cells in your gi tract that aid in the digestion of food. The gastric mucus prevents damage to the wall of the stomach by HCL and so that the wall is not digested by the proteases found in the stomach.

These line your stomach wall and push food through your digestive system when you eat?
The muscles that line your stomach wall and help push food through your digestive system are called smooth muscle fibers. These muscles contract in a coordinated manner, a process known as peristalsis, which propels food along the digestive tract. This action begins in the esophagus and continues through the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, ensuring efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.

Where is hydrochloric acid secreted in the digestive system?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach. These cells are located in the gastric glands lining the stomach wall. Hydrochloric acid plays a key role in the digestion of food by creating an acidic environment in the stomach.
