The muscle tissue is modified to form layers that are perpendicular to each other. This allows the stomach to churn (peristalsis) in different directions so as to hasten the physical and chemical breakdown of foods.
the muscular layer of the stomach comprises of the circular and longitudinal muscle coat. this helps in effective churning of food with the gastric juices in the stomach. The longitudinal muscle coat is responsible for initiating peristaltic movements for propeeling food towards the duodenum. Moreover the muscular coat forms a channel along the lesser curvature joining the cardiac end of the stomach to the pyloric end known as the incisura angularis which is responsible for flow of fluids through the stomach.
The third layer, the obliquely oriented layer, of smooth muscle in its muscularis externa allows the stomach to churn, mix, and pummel the food, physically reducing it into smaller pieces.
The stomach muscularis is the third layer of muscle on the stomach. This layer's function is to mix the ingested food with gastric gases so they can be digested.
Under the submucosa, the muscularis externa in the stomach differs from that of other GI organs in that it has three layers of smooth muscle instead of two.

The muscularis externa is the layer of the digestive tube, which consists of smooth muscles. It mixes ingested food with gastric juices so digestion is able to occur.
It is actually four involuntary muscles. The longitudinal layer, circular layer and oblique layer of the muscularis externa and the pyloric sphincter
The subdivisions of the wall layer muscularis externa are the longitudinal layer, circular layer, and oblique layer.

The layers of the alimentary tube wall are mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa.

the smooth muscles are responsible for perstalsis and segmentation, so that means its the muscularis externa. :)
