2. Gastric acid - Wikipedia

   The lowest pH of the secreted acid is 0.8, [5] but the acid is diluted in the stomach lumen to a pH of between 1 and 3. There is a small continuous basal secretion of gastric acid between meals of usually less than 10 mEq/hour. [6] There are three phases in the secretion of gastric acid which increase the secretion rate in order to digest a ...

4. Foveolar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveolar_cell

   The mucus allows the acid at pH above 4 to penetrate lining, but below pH 4 (i.e. when acid is more concentrated) the acid cannot penetrate the mucus. This is called viscous fingering. [6] Thus the foveolar cells can pump out a lot of acid, but acid once in the lumen of the stomach is prevented from returning.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_glands

   Foveolar cells (surface mucous cells) are mucus-producing cells which cover the inside of the stomach, protecting it from the corrosive nature of gastric acid. These cells line the gastric mucosa and follows into the gastric pits. Mucous neck cells are located within gastric glands, interspersed between parietal cells.

8. Hydrochloric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochloric_acid

   After leaving the stomach, the hydrochloric acid of the chyme is neutralized in the duodenum by bicarbonate. [36] The stomach itself is protected from the strong acid by the secretion of a thick mucus layer, and by secretin induced buffering with sodium bicarbonate. Heartburn or peptic ulcers can develop when these mechanisms fail.

9. Gastroesophageal reflux disease - Wikipedia

   Acid reflux into the mouth can cause breakdown of the enamel, especially on the inside surface of the teeth. A dry mouth, acid or burning sensation in the mouth, bad breath and redness of the palate may occur. [27] Less common symptoms of GERD include difficulty in swallowing, water brash, chronic cough, hoarse voice, nausea and vomiting. [26]
