Answer:

  • The mucus is secreted in the gastric juice by the glands present in the stomach wall .
  • It helps to protect the wall of stomach from its own secretions of hydrochloric acid .
  • If mucus is not secreted, HCl will cause the erosion of inner lining of stomach leading to ulcer formation.
