We mention specialized cells can develop a mucus layer - and that they divide frequently - which can be protective for the stomach lining. However, there's more! Did you know many enzymes (like pepsin) are secreted in an inactive form and don't activate until reaching a different location? Learn more below!

    I love how most of us are high school students that found this channel in bio class and now watch their videos in our free time
  • @antler4060
    And when the world needed them the most, they returned.
  • @MaxiLuca
    Still helping me in college level anatomy/physiology. Thank you Amoeba Sisters!
  • YouTube, please recommend this channel to more people and save them on the exams!
  • This is just one of the best science channels I have ever seen. The channel needs more subscribers, to be honest.
  • @drshathamoh
    I’m a medical student now and still watching your videos since I was 10th grade!!! Thaaaank you 😍😍😍😍
  • Came here a few years ago to help with my science classes, still here after I graduated (high school) because I now have a genuine interest in science, and great love for your videos 🥺
  • @sarahk.9036
    This channel has been carrying me through college microbiology, chemistry, and anatomy. You guys are a god send!!
  • @kj989
    Never clicked so fast 😂 I love you Amoeba Sisters

    Amoeba Sisters, I always watch and love your content of videos it makes my learning in science and biology easier!
  • @artemis6740
    My son found your videos and has taking a liking to them. He is 5.... reading through these comments makes me realize most these people are high-school or college students...
  • You have to add subtitles in spanish, I live in Mexico and students will go crazy for your adorable videos. They really help me understanding some concepts. Keep on the good work. Thanks.
  • @armageddon845
    I managed to make it into college without taking a Biology class, which was probably a mistake. Now I have to take a Biology class when my last experience with Biology was in 7th grade. Luckily, your videos make it a lot easier to take in the material. Thank you! You're a life saver.
  • @AudreyThePanda
    mrs. rapini i appreciate u sm!! u taught bio to me freshman year at my high school (not sure if you want the name to be disclosed) and i’m so happy to see how far you’ve gone!!!! i’m in college now and i love seeing kids in hs bio bringing you up. you are a game changer

  • Thank you Amoeba Sisters. I am currently working on a digestive system project in which I have to make a piece of food travel through he digestive tract. Watching this video really helped me understand which directions to take. I love how you included even the tiniest details like the epiglottis and the chyme. I appreciate you a lot. Thanks again!!!
  • Here in 2024 as a junior in college. Thank you amoeba sister for getting me through elementary-college science!!
