Question

How HCL is secreted in the stomuch ??

Answer 1

Parietal cells contain an extensive secretory network (called canaliculi) from which the hydrochloric acid is secreted into the lumen of the stomach. ... Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin, which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids, a process known as proteolysis.

Answer 2

⭐ The parietal or oxyntic cells of Gastric glands of stomach secretes HCl.

⭐The proenzyme pepsinogen, on exposure to HCl gets converted into the active enzyme pepsin.

⭐Pepsin converts proteins into proteoses and peptones.

Function of HCl:

✔ Plays an important role in lubrication and protection of the mucosal epithelium from excoriation by the highly concentrated HCl acid.
