The stomach lining cells are protected by a layer of mucus that prevents the hydrochloric acid from coming into direct contact with them. Additionally, stomach lining cells have a rapid turnover rate, continuously being replaced and repaired to prevent damage from the acid. The stomach also produces bicarbonate to neutralize any acid that may breach the mucus barrier.

What are the functions of the acid in your stomach?

1 - The very low pH (1-2) of the acid in the stomach is a very harsh environment, so most bacteria are killed off. The pH acts as a defense mechanism. 2 - The enzyme protease works optimally at a low pH. This means the environment in the stomach is ideal for the break down of proteins to take place.

Why doesnt gastric juice digest inside of the stomach?

because the inside of our stomach is protected by a mucosal layer that prevents its own digestion. Now, it doesn't mean that the inside of the stomach can never be damaged by the gastric juice. An ulcer occurs when this layer of mucus has been destroyed by the acidity of the gastric juice (with the help of certain bacterial infections in the stomach).
