To prevent acid from seeping in the stomach, the stomach cells join one another via

The stomach and the cells that comprise it have a three-part protection system to protect from the acid contained in the stomach, comprised mostly of compact cell unions.

The stomach is one of the main digestive tract organs. Its job is to break down the food we ingest and pass it along to the rest of the digestive tract. To perform this action, the stomach secrets hydrochloric acid. However, the stomach itself is not damaged by this acid due to a three-part protective system comprised of:

  1. Tight epithelial cell lining
  2. Mucose Barrier
  3. Bicarbonate secretion

The cells present in the epithelial lining of the stomach join one another via compact cell unions to form a closed barrier which is then covered by a thick Mucose barrier. This along with the secretion of bicarbonate which works to break up the acids present in the stomach and ingested, form a sealed barrier that protects the stomach from harm.

What is a limiting factor
inna [77]
A limiting factor is something that restricts organism(s) from increasing their population. If you look at a graph showing the population of a certain organism, you will notice that at a certain amount of their population it stays around the same area. That is known as the <em>carrying capacity</em>. The carrying capacity is there due to the limiting factors, which depends based on the needs of particular organisms. For example, one limiting factor for a certain species might be that the number of predators increased, or there are limited resources available in order to survive.
