There is no mucus in the lining of your small intestine. What needs to happen to the acid leaving your stomach?

Needs to be broken down into an enzyme called chyme then later broken down

explanation: The stomach is very acidic and breaks down the food into an even more acidic paste called chyme. Chyme moves from the stomach into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) through the pyloric sphincter ... Stuck in the stomach, the chyme begins to rot.
