The lining of the stomach has less surface area than the lining of the small intestine. The stomach lining has a mucus coating that protects it from acid while the lining of the small intestine is less coated.
Mucosa
Gastritis is the inflammation of the lining of the stomach.
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
Open sores that occur inside the stomach lining are called ulcers. Having these ulcers frequently is referred to as open sore stomach.
The stomach lining is quite smooth. The small intestine is lined with villi which increases surface area. Think of villi as little round popsicle sticks protruding from the lining.
Yes, in part. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth (saliva), stomach (gastric acid) and small intestine. The nutrients are mostly absorbed in the walls (lining) of the small intestine.
In frogs and all other vertebrates lining of stomach and small intestine is made up of mucosa . But mucosa of small intestine possess villi which are finger like projections which increase surface are for absorption .Villi are absent in stomach .the lining in both frogs are think, but the stomach's is shorter than the intestine's In frogs and all other vertebrates lining of stomach and small intestine is made up of mucosa .

The digestion is completed in the small intestine.
The lining of the small intestine.
The stomach lining is protected from the very strong acid of the stomach by a coat of mucus. It is secreted by mucous membranes.
Of course. the glass can cut the lining of your throat, esophagus, stomach, or intestine. This can be fatal.
Yes. The digestion of protein begins in the stomach with the enzyme pepsin and ends in the small intestine using enzymes secreted by the pancreas. Once the enzymes have broken the proteins into their amino acids, they can then be absorbed by the epithelial tissue lining the small intestine.
