Why is the stomach not digested by gastric juice?

Answer 1

The cells lining your stomach secrete a mucous that protects them from being damaged by caustic digestive enzymes. A stomach ulcer, for example, is the result when those cells fail to maintain that mucous and the cells are left exposed to digestive enzymes.

Answer 2

anti pepsin is secreted to neutralise the action of pepsin so no digestion can take place.the stomach lining is made up of mucous and if it gets eaten away by the stomach acids too quickly it can result in to health problems.pepsin acts in acidic medium

Answer 3

Your stomach is coated with mucus. Mucus is polysaccharide. Pepsin brakes only peptide bond. This bond is absent in the mucus. That is why your stomach wall is protected from attack by the pepsin. That is the miraculous design by the 'Nature'.

Your stomach produces a lot of mucus on the inside walls, or else yes it would be digested by itself

Answer 5
