Gastric glands secretes gastric juice and gastric juice secretes Hydrochloric acid, pepsin and mucus etc

Hydrochloric acid provides the acidic medium to the for the pepsin enzyme to act on protein.

HCl also kills the microbes entered in the stomach.

Pepsin breaks down the protein into peptides.

Mucus protects the gastric wall from the action of HCl .
