magesyreutskillelse
Magesyreutskillelse refers to the process by which the stomach secretes gastric acid. This acid, primarily hydrochloric acid, plays a crucial role in digestion. It lowers the pH of the stomach, creating an acidic environment that is optimal for the activation of pepsinogen into pepsin, the main enzyme responsible for protein breakdown. The acidity also helps to kill ingested microorganisms, thus acting as a defense mechanism against pathogens.
The secretion of gastric acid is a complex physiological process regulated by several factors. Hormones such
