The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?

What type of tissue does acid in your stomach remove?
The acid in your stomach, primarily hydrochloric acid, helps break down food and kill harmful bacteria. It does not remove tissue per se, but it can damage the protective mucosal lining of the stomach if it is compromised, leading to conditions such as gastritis or ulcers. This lining is made up of epithelial tissue, which produces mucus to protect the stomach from the corrosive effects of the acid.

What are the only two substances that are absorbed across the stomach's mucosal epithelium?

This is because these substances are lipid-soluble and can pass through the cell membranes of the stomach lining.
Can aspirin cause vomiting of blood?

What is mean by Mucosal break?
A mucosal break refers to a disruption or injury in the protective lining of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines.

Mucosal breaks can lead to symptoms like pain, bleeding, or discomfort and may require medical evaluation and treatment to prevent complications.
