The stomach protects itself from the harsh acidic environment and its own digestive enzymes through the secretion of a thick layer of mucus by mucosal cells. This mucus barrier forms a physical and chemical barrier that shields the underlying tissue from the acid and pepsin. Additionally, the stomach lining has a high turnover rate and is continuously regenerated, and the enzymes in the gastric juice are inactive until they come into contact with food.
