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 ...

4. Acidifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidifier

   These chemicals increase the level of gastric acid in the stomach when ingested, thus decreasing the stomach pH. Out of many types of acidifiers, the main four are: Gastric acidifiers, these are the drugs which are used to restore temporarily the acidity of stomach in patient suffering from hypochlorhydria

5. Dilution (equation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_(equation)

   To dilute a solution means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute. The resulting solution is thoroughly mixed so as to ensure that all parts of the solution are identical. The same direct relationship applies to gases and vapors diluted in air for example. Although, thorough mixing of gases and vapors may not be as easily ...

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.

7. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

   In the case of citric acid, the overlap is extensive and solutions of citric acid are buffered over the whole range of pH 2.5 to 7.5. Calculation of the pH with a polyprotic acid requires a speciation calculation to be performed. In the case of citric acid, this entails the solution of the two equations of mass balance:

8. Human digestive system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_digestive_system

   Gastric acid (informally gastric juice), produced in the stomach plays a vital role in the digestive process, and mainly contains hydrochloric acid and sodium chloride. A peptide hormone , gastrin , produced by G cells in the gastric glands , stimulates the production of gastric juice which activates the digestive enzymes.
