mucosa
The walls of the stomach contain a thick layer of mucus. The stomach itself is filled with pepsin and Hydrochloric acid in order to digest food. The thick layer of mucus prevents these acids from digesting the wall of your stomach. Occasionally this mucus recedes and some of the acid can get in. When this occurs, it causes a Peptic Ulcer.
No. Mucus is broken down by the acid in your stomach. It therefore does not remain behind in the stomach and passes normally through the digestive track of the body.

Mucus, secretedby special cells in the stomach, help protect it from gastric juices. If the mucus levels become low, the gastric juices begin to digest the stomach wall, which leads to an Ulcer.

Goblet cells produce and secrete mucus, which helps to lubricate and protect the lining of various organs such as the respiratory and digestive tracts. The mucigen droplets contain the precursors of mucus, which are converted into mucus upon secretion by the goblet cells. This allows the mucus to effectively function in protecting and maintaining the health of the underlying tissue.
Four layers of tissue form the walls of the digestive tract. These layers are called mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and adventitia.
The inner lining of the stomach is coated in a thick layer of protective mucus that prevents powerful digestive acids and enzymes from damaging the organ. The stomach walls themselves are thick membranes that are similarly protective against corrosion.
chitin
Smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive tract contract and form a movement called peristalsis.
No, it is important to differentiate between plants and fungi. Plant cell walls contain a carbohydrate polymer called cellulose. Fungi cell walls contain a different type of carbohydrate polymer called chitin. Chitin is harder than cellulose.
