Remains in the tissue so that it can buffer acid if it ever gets in tissue. Try not to keep in contact with the epithelium. Maintain and stimulate the production of mucus. Development of ulcers is all about the balance between protective and aggressive forces. This form is in human, other animals have other forms (humans can sometimes be infected by bacteria from other animals) If individual is infected, bacteria will be present in mouth.

Alcohol dissolves the mucus layer which usually lead to vomiting.
