Question

why is the gastric juice having the PH of 1.2 explain ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

HCl is an important component in gastric juice. It is a strong acid produced by the parietal cells in the corpus generating a gastric pH of 2-3[1]. Activation of pepsin and absorption of nutrients relies on an acidic pH in the stomach.The normal volume of the stomach fluid is 20 to 100 mL and the pH is acidic (1.5 to 3.5). These numbers are converted to actual acid production in units of milliequivalents per hour (mEq/hr) in some cases. Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly depending on the lab doing the test.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because gastric juice is acidic in nature because it is a combination of hydrochloric acid (HCL) which is helps in digestion
