Introduction
The cell is what makes up every living organism. It is microscopic so people can't see it with the naked eye. There are lots of special cells in the stomach, which is an organ. In the inner layer of the stomach, there are three kinds of cells.The cells do different things. They help protect the stomach.
Task
The stomach is in charge of digestion. The stomach contains parietal cells, g-cells, and epithial cells. The question is why doesn't the stomach digest itself The stomach doesn't digest itself because there is epithial cells. These produce mucus that forms a barrier between the lining of the stomach. They are produced all the time. This helps keep the stomach from digesting itself.

Process
Gastric cells are important too. They are chief cells in the stomach. They produce something called pepsin, which helps break down food. Lots of different cells work together, but the most important thing is the mucus barrier because it keeps the stomach from digesting itself.
Conclusion
There is a lot to know about the stomach. It works hard and the cells are complicated. Did you ever wonder why it didn't digest itself? The parietal cells are very important.
