The main constituent of gastric acid is hydrochloric acid which is produced by parietal cells (also called oxyntic cells) in the gastric glands in the stomach.Its secretion is a complex and relatively energetically expensive process.he pH of gastric acid is 1.5 to 3.5 in the human stomach lumen, the acidity being maintained by the proton pump H+/K+ ATPase. The parietal cell releases bicarbonate into the bloodstream in the process, which causes a temporary rise of pH in the blood, known as an alkaline tide.
Gastric acid is a digestive fluid, formed in the stomach. It is composed of hydrochloric acid (HCl) .05â0.1 M (roughly 5,000â10,000 parts per million) potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl).astric acid is produced by cells lining the stomach, which are coupled in feedback systems to increase acid production when needed. Other cells in the stomach produce bicarbonate, a base, to buffer the fluid, ensuring that it does not become too acidic.
