gastric juice
Gastric juice is a digestive fluid produced by the stomach glands, which primarily consists of hydrochloric acid, mucus, enzymes, and water. This acidic compound aids in the breakdown of food particles, particularly proteins, into a semi-liquid substance that can be further processed in the small intestine.
