Answer:
Human digestive system - Gastric mucosa | Britannica The gastric mucosa secretes 1.2 to 1.5 litres of gastric juice per day. Gastric juice renders food particles soluble, initiates digestion (particularly of proteins), and converts the gastric contents to a semiliquid mass called chyme, thus preparing it for further digestion in the small intestine.

The hydrochloric acid in the gastric juices breaks down the food and the digestive enzymes spilt up the proteins. The acidic gastric juices also kills bacteria. The mucus covers the stomach wall with a protective coating.
