Function for hydrochloric acid for digestive secretions?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by parietal cells in the stomach to help break down food, kill bacteria, and activate pepsin for protein digestion. It also helps maintain the acidic environment necessary for optimal enzyme activity in the stomach.
Does digestive enzymes will still function in the small intestin?

For instance, the salivary glands are located between the muscles of the jaw and face, and secrete saliva into the mouth through salivary ducts. Bile is created by the liver, stored in the gallbladder and then secreted into the small intestine; pancreatic enzymes (there are a bunch of them) are made in the pancreas then secreted into the small intestine as well.
