The stomach produces HCl (hydrochloric acid) to aid in the partial chemical digestion of proteins within the stomach. Briefly explain how HCl is produced, its role in aiding digestion, and the mechanisms that protect the lining of the stomach from the corrosive effects of gastric acid. (Use terms including but not limited to - chief cells, parietal cells, pepsin, pepsinogen, H+, and Cl-) Production of HCl: Role of HCl in aiding digestion: Mechanisms that protect the lining of the stomach from the corrosive effects of gastric acid:
In general, parasympathetic inputs to the gut are __________, while sympathetic inputs are __________. Chemical digestion is initiated in the __________. Why does your mouth suddenly "go dry" when you are about to deliver a presentation to a large crowd? __________ involves over 22 muscle groups and includes the buccal phase and the pharyngeal-esophageal phase. The stomach is able to expand to nearly 100 times its empty volume partly due to __________ in its walls.
