Q

What are the mechanisms for protection of the gastric lumen due to the acidic pH?

A
  • Mucin secreted from foveolar cells that prevents food from touching the epithelium
  • Mucus layer promotes the formation of a (neutral pH) layer of fluid over the epithelium
  • Rich vascular supply deliver O2, bicarb and nutrients and washes away acid that has back diffused into the LP
