Stomach-

• Stomach helps to digest ur food.

• Through the process of digestion Stomach carried all the wanted food and remove unwanted food outside.

• It carries all the proteins and water from that food and supplied energy when we are in need .

Mucus-

• Stomach mucus protects the gastrointestinal cells from the damage that gastric juices can cause.

• Gastric juices are highly acidic and, without this mucus, the acid can destroy the cells and tissues in the stomach.

• Mucus in the stomach is rich in bicarbonate, an alkaline compound, to help lubricate and protect the stomach.

•Stomach acid comes from the parietal cells, a type of stomach cell, and it is a hydrochloric acid, which is a solution of water and hydrogen chloride.

• This allows the environment in the stomach to be highly acidic. A high level of acidity is critical to inactivate bacteria in the food that people eat and to activate pepsinogen, a type of enzyme.
