If the liquids we drink end up in the stomach, how does our stomach acid not get thinned down by the constant flow of liquid?
In: Biology
In short, proton pumps! The cells lining the stomach contains many proton pumps which can actively sense their environment (say fluctuations in ph) which then respond by increasing the export of H+ ions and eventually restoring the proper ph.
Edit: export not influx
