  2. Alkaline mucus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_mucus

    Alkaline mucus exists in the human eye, stomach, saliva, and cervix. [5] In the stomach, alkaline mucus is secreted by gastric glands in the gastric mucosa of the stomach wall. [6] Secretion of alkaline mucus is necessary to protect the mucous membrane of the stomach from acids released during digestion. [6]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_mucosa

    Diagram of the alkaline mucous layer in the stomach with mucosal defense mechanisms. The gastric mucosa is the mucous membrane layer of the stomach, which contains the gastric pits, to which the gastric glands empty. In humans, it is about one mm thick, and its surface is smooth, soft, and velvety.

  4. Gastric mucosal barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_mucosal_barrier

    A special mucus covering, derived from mucus secreted by surface epithelial cells and Foveolar cells. This insoluble mucus forms a protective gel-like coating over the entire surface of the gastric mucosa. The mucus protects the gastric mucosa from autodigestion by e.g. pepsin and from erosion by acids and other caustic materials that are ingested.

  5. Mucus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucus

    The chief and parietal cells produce and secrete mucus (F) to protect the lining of the stomach (C) against the harsh pH of stomach acid. The mucus is basic, while the stomach acid (A) is acidic. In the human digestive system, mucus is used as a lubricant for materials that must pass over membranes, e.g., food passing down the esophagus.

  6. 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

    The gastric glands are glands in the lining of the stomach that play an essential role in the process of digestion. All of the glands have mucus-secreting foveolar cells (also known as surface mucous cells) that line the stomach and partly line the gastric pits, and mucus-secreting mucous neck cells in the necks of the gastric glands.
