Secretion. The stomach produces and secretes several important substances to control the digestion of food. Each of these substances is produced by exocrine or endocrine cells found in the mucosa. 1  The main exocrine product of the stomach is gastric juice â a mixture of mucus, hydrochloric acid, and digestive enzymes.2  Gastric juice is mixed with food in the stomach to promote digestion. Intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein that binds to the vitamin B 12 in the stomach and allows the vitamin to be absorbed in the small intestine. 2  Vitamin B 12 is an essential nutrient for the formation of red blood cells. 3  Hydrochloric acid protects the body by killing pathogenic bacteria naturally found in food.
