Question

What is the pH of gastric juice and pancreatic juice?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey!

• The pH of gastric acid is 1.5 to 3.5. Parietal cells (also known as oxyntic cells) secrete gastric acid.
• The pH of the pancreatic juice is about 8.6(alkaline). It is alkaline because it has a high concentration of bicarbonate ions,
• So, the correct answer is '8.6'.
