Which of the following acid is secreted in the stomach ?

Explanation

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is secreted by the parietal/oxyntic cells present in the stomach. It helps in the digestion of food, but if the acid is present in excess in the stomach, indigestion may occur. To get relief from indigestion, we take an antacid such as milk of magnesia, which contains magnesium hydroxide. It neutralizes the effect of excess acid.
