Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile is not included in gastric secretions. Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of fats. Gastric secretions include enzymes, mucus, and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Enzymes, such as pepsin, help to break down proteins. Mucus protects the stomach lining from the corrosive HCl, and HCl helps to denature proteins and kill harmful bacteria.
