Gastric Mucus
Gastric mucus is a gel-mucous barrier secreted by epithelial cells and glandular cells in the stomach wall. It acts as part of a barrier that protects the stomach wall from the acid and digestive enzymes within the stomach lumen. This barrier is also made up of a bicarbonate secretion and the epithelial cells themselves, which are tightly joined together. Together, these components prevent the stomach from effectively digesting itself.
