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

Biology

strojnjashka [21]2 years ago

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.
