Linda has heard that the acidic environment of the stomach is similar to that of a car battery. If the stomach is so acidic, why doesn't the acid eat away at the stomach lining and cause holes in the stomach?The stomach is lined with a thick layer of mucus.The pancreas produces bicarbonate, which neutralizes the acid in the stomach.The stomach produces bacteria that denature the acid in the stomach.The stomach contracts during peristalsis, which pushes the acid out of the stomach.
