Answer:
Mucus is secreted along with HCL in the stomach because Hydrochloric acid is produced in our stomach which is abrasive in nature which might damage the boundary cells of the stomach. Therefore, to prevent that stomach is protected by the epithelial cells, which manufactures and discharges a bicarbonate rich solution that gives protection to the inner coating of the stomach called mucus.
It configures a preservative interlining on the wall of the stomach to prevent inner cell damages.
