Gastric juice has three components:-
• Hydrochloric acid:-
- Its function is to make food medium acidic for the pepsin to act.
- Its another function is to kill the germs that came along with the food.
• Mucus:-
- Its function is to protect the lining of the stomach from harmful effects of the acid....
• Pepsin:-
- Its function is to digest proteins....( to convert peptide to peptones.... this is not necessary to be written....)
