Which GI tract hormone is secreted from the stomach wall in response to the presence of food in the stomach and resulting in hydrochloric acid being secreted into the stomach?
gastrin
Is stomach acid the same acid used to etch concrete?
No, stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) is not the same as the acid used to etch concrete (usually muriatic acid, which is also known as hydrochloric acid). The concentrations and purposes of these acids are different, with stomach acid being naturally produced in the human body for digestion and muriatic acid being a strong chemical used for industrial purposes.
Why doesn't the hydrochloric acid produced by the stomach digest its own lining cells?
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.
How is hydrochloric acid so dangerous because you have in it your stomach and you don't die?
Your stomach has a mucous lining which protects the stomach tissues from the acid. The acid is still dangerous; - If you vomit it up, it can burn your throat. - If the stomach mucous isn't being produced properly, the acid will damage the stomach lining, causing an ulcer. - After exiting the stomach through the pyloric sphincter, the acid is neutralised by alkaline bile. One other factor is human stomach acid is usually diluted by the things dissolved into it. Hydrochloric acid becomes less dangerous when diluted, but much more dangerous when concentrated.
Does gum dissolve in your stomach?
No, gum does not dissolve in your stomach. It passes through your digestive system without being broken down.
What substance does the stomach produce?
The stomach produces hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and mucus. These substances help in breaking down food, killing harmful bacteria, and protecting the stomach lining from being digested by its own acid.
Microorganisms removed from incoming air by sticky mucus are most likely to be destroyed by?
being enveloped in additional mucus and swallowed into the stomach, where they are exposed to acidic digestive juices that can destroy them.

Our planet has been going around for 4.6 billion years ago without being destroyed so the answer is hell no.

What are two functions of hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid is released by the stomach. It mixes with pepsinogen to produce pepsin. Pepsin breaks down proteins. The hydrochloric acid also helps turn the solid food into a liquid that makes digestion possible. In addition, the HCl being very acidic provides protective mechanism to the body by being anti-bacterial in action. lastly , it converts the ferric iron to its ferrous form..and helps in its absorption..The hydrochloric acid in ther stomach has two main purposes:It sterilises food by killing pathogens and other microbes.It has a pH of 2, which is perfect for proteases such as pepsin to break down proteins as effectively as possible.Dr.ZULCAIFFrom Hajveri University
