  • Several secretions flow into the stomach.
  • It is collectively known as gastric juice.
  • Also the juice contains pepsin and HCL acid.
  • Here, the enzyme pepsin acts on the proteins in the food and forms polypeptides, which are intermediate products of life. ( <em>Chemical digestion</em> )
