How Much Do You Know About Gastric Acid Secretion? Quiz
Settings
The foods we eat have bacteria in it, and once it reached the stomach, it is introduced to acid that helps in killing them and easing digestion of foods. Gastric acid can at times be excreted in excess or low volumes due to a number of reasons. How much do you know about gastric acid secretion? Take up the quiz below and get to find out!
