absorption.
Gastric Secretion
1. Thin, strongly acidic (pH: 1 to 3), almost
colorless liquid. It is secreted by the
glands in the lining of the stomach.
2. Essential constituents are the digestive
enzymes pepsin and renin, hydrochloric
acid, and mucus.
3. Certain cells of the stomach lining secrete
intrinsic factor which is necessary for the
absorption of vitamin B12.
