Detailed explanation-1: -The innermost lining of the stomach secretes mucus, hydrochloric acid as well as certain types of digestive enzymes to digest or breakdown the food present in the stomach. In addition to this, some other types of cell are also found which are known as the parietal cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -The inner surface of the stomach is lined by a mucous membrane known as the gastric mucosa. The mucosa is always covered by a layer of thick mucus that is secreted by tall columnar epithelial cells.
