WHAT DOES GASTRIC JUICE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gastric acid

Gastric acid is a digestive fluid, formed in the stomach. It is composed of hydrochloric acid as high as 0.1 M, potassium chloride and sodium chloride. The acid plays a key role in digestion of proteins, by activating digestive enzymes, and making ingested proteins unravel so that digestive enzymes break down the long chains of amino acids. Gastric 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. These cells also produce mucus, which forms a viscous physical barrier to prevent gastric acid from damaging the stomach. Cells in the beginning of the small intestine, or duodenum, further produce large amounts of bicarbonate to completely neutralize any gastric acid that passes further down into the digestive tract. Gastric acid is produced by parietal cells in the stomach. Its secretion is a complex and relatively energetically expensive process. Parietal cells contain an extensive secretory network from which the gastric acid is secreted into the lumen of the stomach.
