Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bicarbonate is secreted by the pancreas to buffer the acid chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach. This helps to maintain a more neutral pH environment for the enzymes in the small intestine to function properly. Mucus is secreted by the stomach and helps to protect the lining of the stomach from acids and enzymes. Ammonia and urea are not typically involved in the digestive process.
