HClsekretion
HCl secretion, also known as hydrochloric acid secretion, is the process by which the parietal cells in the stomach lining secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) into the stomach lumen. This process is essential for the digestion of food, particularly proteins and fats.
The secretion of HCl is a complex process that involves the coordinated effort of various parietal cells,
The HCl secretion process begins when gastrin, a hormone produced by the G cells in the stomach
In addition to its role in digestion, HCl secretion also helps to maintain a pH environment in
