What are the two acid in the stomach?
The gastric acid that is secreted into the stomach is primarily composed of hydrochloric acid (HCl).
What is the purpose of the secretion of acid into the lumen of the stomach?
The acid in the glandular stomach has two main functions. The first is as a microbiologic barrier - most bacteria, viruses and parasites are unable to survive the low pH of the stomach. The second is to start denaturing proteins by breaking apart the tertiary structure bonds and some of the primary structure amino acid bonds.
What function does the stomach serve in digestion?
stomach plays an important role in digestion of food. it churns the food and releases hydrochloric acid along with other gastric juices, with helps in making the food to a from, due to which nutients and energy of the food can be absorbed in the small intestine.
What are the two ways by which the hydrochloric acid in gastric juice contribute to the digestion of food in the stomach?
describe two ways on how the hydrolic acid in the gastric juice contribute in the chemicaldigestion of food in the stomach
What are two chemicals involved in digestion and what do they do and where are they found?
Hydrochloric acid in the stomach
What do you call the two chemicals that react together in antacid tablets?
The two chemicals that react in antacid tablets are typically aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. These chemicals help to neutralize stomach acid and provide relief from heartburn and indigestion.
How does tablet work?

This is how stomach tablets work they basically neutralize the acid in your stomach to stop the pain. Hope This Helped :]
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.
What are the names and functions of the stomach sphincters?
The stomach has two primary sphincters: the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the pyloric sphincter. The LES, located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, prevents the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus, protecting it from acid reflux. The pyloric sphincter, situated between the stomach and the small intestine, regulates the passage of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the duodenum, ensuring proper digestion and absorption.
How do indigestion tablets work best?
It works by neutralising the hydrochloric acid (HCl) from the stomach, because it is not normal to have a surplus of acid in your stomach. This is a chemical reaction of neutralization for the control of pH. The indigestion tablet has alkaline in them.
