There are actually FOUR layers of muscle in the stomach.
For an effective explanation you need to find a sectional view of the stomach.
1) the muscularis mucosae - a very thin layer of smooth muscle that functions in altering the surface area of the stomach by moving the villi back and forth.
2) Muscularis Externa - there are THREE layers of this muscle in the stomach (compared to only 2 layers in the small intestine.)The following are ordered from innermost layer to outermost layer.
>innermost oblique
>middle circular
>outer longitudinal

What is the cells present in the stomach?
Hi:) there is a wall of mucus on the inside of your stomach. The mucus is there so that the acid in your stomach doesn't eat through your stomach. If you didn't have that wall of mucus you would have a big hole in your stomach, and I am pretty sure NO ONE wants that. Basically the wall of mucus that is in your stomach is a shield.
