Prostaglandins provide a protective barrier that prevent the stomach from digesting itself. If there is a break in the protective barrier, mucosal injury occurs. Injury worsen by histamine release and vagal nerve stimulation. Hydrochloric acid diffuse back into the mucosa and injure small vessels. This causes edema, hemorrhage, and erosion of the stomach's lining.
This acid is so strong that it could even eat away the stomach walls as well as the food taken in. Yet, a solution is created for man: a substance called mucus, secreted during digestion, coats the stomach walls providing exceptional protection against the disintegrative effect of the acid.
