Mucus is secreted in the esophagus to provide lubrication and protect the lining from acidic stomach contents that may reflux back into it.
If mucus is not secreted by gastric glands, the stomach lining would be exposed to the harsh acidic environment of the stomach leading to damage and ulcers. Mucus acts as a protective barrier against the stomach acid, so its absence can result in inflammation and erosion of the stomach lining.
The mucus layer in the stomach is secreted by specialized cells called goblet cells. It is important for protecting the stomach lining from the acidic digestive juices and enzymes produced in the stomach. The mucus layer acts as a physical barrier that helps prevent damage to the stomach tissue.
Brunner's glands produce alkaline mucus-rich secretions that help neutralize acidic chyme in the duodenum, providing a suitable environment for the action of enzymes.
