Carbon dioxide diffuses into the parital cell and the enzyme carbonic anhydrase makes a reaction when the carbon dioxide mixes with water, to form carbonic acid. Carbonic acid dissociates bicarbonate ions and hydrogen inos and the bicarbonate is sent back into the bloodstream. The hydrogen ions go into the gastric gland and the negative charged chloride ions diffuse with the positive charged hydrogen ions The stomach lining secrets a mucus over the walls of the stomach preventing it from touching the tissue.
