If mucus is not secreted by gastric glands, the stomach lining would be exposed to the harsh acidic environment of the stomach leading to damage and ulcers. Mucus acts as a protective barrier against the stomach acid, so its absence can result in inflammation and erosion of the stomach lining.
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.
Becouse colorless watery acidic digestive fluid that is secreted by various glands in the mucous membrane of the stomach and consists chiefly of hydrochloric acid, pepsin, rennin, and mucin. salman
it is secreted by stomach glands as an inactive proenzyme, pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin by the cleavage of acid-labile linkages in the acidic (low pH) environment of the stomach.
Sebum is the oily substance secreted by glands associated with the hair follicles. It helps to moisturize the skin and hair, but excessive sebum production can lead to oily skin and acne.
Pepsin is an enzyme released by the chief cells in the stomach. It helps in the digestion of proteins by breaking them down into smaller peptides. Pepsin is activated by the acidic environment in the stomach.
i think it must be 5-10%
That is called a hormone. It is an organic secretion
Yes it is. The proper name for it is Gastric Acid.
no ptyalin is not secretes by the cells in the stomach
In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the glands present on the stomach walls. It dissolves bits of food and creates an acidic medium. The acidic medium allows pepsinogen to be converted into pepsin. Pepsin plays an important role in the digestion of proteins. Therefore, if HCl were not secreted in the stomach, then pepsin would not be activated. This would affect protein digestion. A pH of about 1.8 is necessary for proteins to be digested. This pH is achieved by HCl.
