2. Gastric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_acid

   The lowest pH of the secreted acid is 0.8, [7] 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. [8] There are three phases in the secretion of gastric acid which increase the secretion rate in order to digest a ...

3. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

   These are designed to neutralize excess gastric acid in the stomach that may be causing discomfort in the stomach or lower esophagus. This can also be remedied by the ingestion of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3). Sodium bicarbonate is also commonly used to neutralise acid spills in laboratories, as well as acid burns.

4. Antacid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antacid

   Calcium carbonate antacid tablets. An antacid is a substance which neutralizes stomach acidity and is used to relieve heartburn, indigestion, or an upset stomach. [1] Some antacids have been used in the treatment of constipation and diarrhea. [2]

5. Secretin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretin

   Bicarbonate is a base that neutralizes the acid, thus establishing a pH favorable to the action of other digestive enzymes in the small intestine. [ 26 ] Secretin also increases water and bicarbonate secretion from duodenal Brunner's glands to buffer the incoming protons of the acidic chyme, [ 24 ] and also reduces acid secretion by parietal ...

6. 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. Pancreatic juice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_juice

   Bicarbonate is useful in neutralizing the acidic gastric acid, allowing for effective enzymic changes. Pancreatic juice secretion is principally regulated by the hormones secretin and cholecystokinin, which are produced by the walls of the duodenum, and by the action of autonomic innervation.
