Question

HCI is a highly corrosive mineral acid but the stomach remains safe from it. How ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Yes, HCl is a highly corrosive acid. but still our stomach lining remains safe from it because of the mucus secreted by our goblet cells (modified form of columnar epithelium cells).

This mucus forms a kind of protective layer and thus protects our stomach lining from the damage that could've been caused because of the acid.

Hope it helps!!!
