When food reaches the stomach via the food pipe (esophagus), it gets mixed with the secretions of the gastric glands that are present in the stomach wall. These secretions include hydrochloric acid (HCl), pepsin (digestive enzyme) and mucus among others. The food is partially digested in the stomach.
