Hydrochloric Acid

How is hydrochloric acid produced in your stomach? Ive always wondered this.

I believe HCl is produced in the stomach by means of using chloride (Cl-) and hydrogen (H+) from the blood itself. Obviously in order to obtain any (Cl-) from the blood, salt intake is vital.

 

It's been awhile since I had biology...but I think that's correct.
