What happens when mucus is not secreted by gastric gland?

When mucus is not secreted by the gastric glands, the stomach lining becomes more susceptible to damage from gastric acid and digestive enzymes. This can lead to conditions such as gastritis or peptic ulcers, as the protective barrier against the corrosive effects of stomach acid is compromised. Without sufficient mucus, inflammation and irritation of the gastric lining can occur, resulting in pain, discomfort, and potential complications.
