GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Gastric juice contains 3.0g of HCl per litre. If a person produces 2.5 litre of gastric juice per day. How many antacid tablets each containing 400 mg of Al(OH)3 are needed to neutralize all the HCl produced in one day ?

Detailed explanation-2: -1.125 Gastric juice contains about 3.0 g HCl per litre. If a person produces about 2.5 L of gastric juice per day, how many antacid tablets each containing 400 mg of Al(OH)3 are needed to neutralise all the HCI produced in one day. Ans. 141.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gastric juice is made up of digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid and other substances that are important for absorbing nutrients – about 3 to 4 liters of gastric juice are produced per day. The hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice breaks down the food and the digestive enzymes split up the proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gastric HCl is secreted from the highly specialized parietal cells located in the corpus of the stomach, generating a H+ concentration in the gastric juice that is 3 million times greater than that in blood and tissue. The process is controlled by a complex system of endocrine cells and neurons.
