Mucus , HCl and digestive juices are the three things secreted by the inner lining of our stomach.
Mucus
The airway surface liquid (ASL), often known as mucus, is a thin layer of fluid that covers the airway's luminal surface.
Mucus Functions:
- Mucus is a covering sheet that traps particulate matter and microorganisms.
- It functions as a mobile medium driven by cilia (the tips of cilia drive the gel layer over the sol layer toward the oropharynx),
- It lubricates the food masses to help them move around in the stomach.
HCL functions:
- Maintaining a low pH to encourage microbial growth.
- In order to digest enzymes released by the stomach.
- To activate pepsinogen and generate pepsin, keep the pH low.
Digestive juice function:
- The small intestine produces digestive juice, which is combined with pancreatic juice and bile to complete digestion.
- Protein breakdown is completed by the body, and starch breakdown results in glucose molecules that are absorbed into the bloodstream.
