2. Gastric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_acid

   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 ...

3. Parietal cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_cell

   A canaliculus is an adaptation found on gastric parietal cells. It is a deep infolding, or little channel, which serves to increase the surface area, e.g. for secretion. The parietal cell membrane is dynamic; the numbers of canaliculi rise and fall according to secretory n

7. Digestive enzyme - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_enzyme

   Once in the stomach further mechanical churning takes place mixing the food with secreted gastric acid. Digestive gastric enzymes take part in some of the chemical process needed for absorption. Most of the enzymatic activity, and hence absorption takes place in the duodenum. [2] [3]

8. Gastric mucosal barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_mucosal_barrier

   The gastric mucosal barrier is the property of the stomach that allows it to safely contain the gastric acid required for digestion. If the barrier is broken, as by acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, aspirin) in acid solution, acid diffuses back into the mucosa where it can cause damage to the stomach itself.

9. Stomach - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stomach

   The stomach is involved in the gastric phase of digestion, following the cephalic phase in which the sight and smell of food and the act of chewing are stimuli. In the stomach a chemical breakdown of food takes place by means of secreted digestive enzymes and gastric acid. The stomach is located between the esophagus and the small intestine.
