Wants a explained and neat answer​

Answer 1

Gastric glands secrete HCL, pepsin and mucus.

• Mucus is secreted from mucus neck cells, and it protects the inner lining of the stomach from HCL.
• HCL (hydrochloric acid) is secreted from parietal cells, and it kills bacteria in the food and helps in the functionality of pepsin.
• Pepsin is secreted from zymogenic (chief) cells and helps in digestion of proteins.
