This acid is so strong that it could even eat away the stomach walls as well as the food taken in. Yet, a solution is created for man: a substance called mucus, secreted during digestion, coats the stomach walls providing exceptional protection against the disintegrative effect of the acid.
The stomach lining is covered by a protective layer of mucus. Glands in the stomach produce mucus, hydrochloric acid and an inactive enzyme called pepsinogen. In the stomach cavity, the hydrochloric acid changes the pepsinogen into an active digestive enzyme called pepsin. This enzyme digests proteins. The mucus layer acts as a barrier which prevents the stomach lining from being attacked by pepsin and acid. If the mucus layer in the stomach is thinned or removed, which may happen during an infection by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori, pepsin and acid may be able to attack the stomach lining. The infection can cause inflammation (gastritis) and sores called ulcers.
