What will happen if mucus is not secreted by the gastric glands?
Mucus plays important role in digestive system. Mucus prevents the inner lining of digestive system from becoming dry. This helps in easier movement of food through the digestive system. Moreover, mucus in stomach protects the inner lining from damage by hydrochloric acid. So, lack of mucus will result in damage to the inner lining of stomach. It may result in gastric ulcers.
