Hydrochloric acid in the stomach is secreted by the gastric glands present in its wall.
The liver is the largest and major digestive gland of humans
The role of HCL is to provide the necessary H+ for the Activation of pepsinogen into pepsin. Approximately 2 liters of HCL is secreted daily into our stomach. It also serves the purpose of protection by killing some bacteria by the high acidic environment.
The liver processes blood and breaks down, balances and creates the nutrients and also metabolizes drugs into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body or that are nontoxic.
