Question

what would happen if alimentary canal does not secrete mucus​

Answer 1

If mucus is not secreted in the alimentary canal, the hydrochloric acid in the stomach damages the cells and leads to ulcer.

Explanation:

• The alimentary canal is a continuous passage starting from the mouth and ending at the anus.

• Mucus is a viscous fluid that is composed of water, epithelial cells, mucin, and inorganic salts.

• It is produced by mucosal cells located on the mucous membrane of the digestive tract.

• It is alkaline in nature.

• It protects the alimentary canal lumen from mouth to anus from self –digestion.

• Hydrochloric acid helps the body to break down, digest, and 'absorb nutrients' such as protein.
