The secretion of hydrochloric acid by the stomach plays an important role in protecting the body against pathogens ingested with food or water. A gastric fluid pH of 1 to 2 is deleterious to many microbial pathogens; however, the neutralization of gastric acid by antacids or the inhibition of acid secretion by various drugs may increase the risk of food- or waterborne illnesses. Peptic ulcer disease is often treated by decreasing or eliminating gastric acid secretion, and such treatment blocks the protective antibacterial action of gastric fluid.

<span> cells maintain homeostasis as they are living things. The main way cells maintain homeostasis is through their cell membranes. Cell membranes protect the cell from the outside world, if there is too much of something in the cell, the cell membrane uses pockets to expel some of it, it trasports nutrients across the cell, and it also dictates what goes in and out of the cell. Those are some ways a cell maintains homeostasis. And all living things must maintain homeostasis</span><span>: <span>Regulate intracellular ion control (e.g. maintain very specific [Ca^2+] levels)
Regulate extracelluar to intracellular ion transport. E.g. for maintaining water and blood pressure via the kidneys.
Regulate metabolism, for temperature control (e.g. in brown adipose tissue).
Regulate transcription and translation, for hormone release and
