What else can I help you with?
Can you have fat behind your stomach muscle?
No, but you can have a layer of stomach fat on top of muscle. If so, that will hide the muscle and not look good.
How many muscle layer does the stomach contain?
3
What muscle layers surround the stomach?
from the inner part to the outer part of the stomach goes like this:*Oblique muscle layer, that comes after the first layer of mucosa;*Circular muscle layer. and Longitudinal muscle layer, these come consecutively from the inner part of the stomach to the outer part.Then after that comes the Serosa and then the body itselfhope it was uselful:]
What is the third layer of smooth muscle found in the stomach wall that allows mixing and mechanical breakdown?
The third layer of smooth muscle found in the stomach wall is called the oblique layer. It runs diagonally and allows for churning and mixing of food, aiding in mechanical breakdown and digestion.
Folds in the gastric mucosa?
Gastric folds are the rugae or wrinkles in the inner lining of the stomach. These folds help the stomach expand to accommodate food and aid in the mechanical digestion process. The folds also contain gastric glands which secrete gastric juices to help break down food.
The simple stomach differs from the esophagus because it?
because it has a third layer in the muscularis called the oblique muscle layer.
What additional muscle layer is the wall of the stomach that is not found in the digestive track?
The inner oblique layer of the muscularis mucosae.
How many muscle layers does the stomach have?
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 Happy studying!
Is the stomach muscle involuntary?
It is actually four involuntary muscles. The longitudinal layer, circular layer and oblique layer of the muscularis externa and the pyloric sphincter
How is the muscularis externa of the stomach modified?
The muscularis externa of the stomach is modified into three layers of smooth muscle: an inner oblique layer, a middle circular layer, and an outer longitudinal layer. This unique arrangement allows for the mixing and movement of stomach contents during digestion.
How is the muscularis externa of the stomach unique?
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 third layer of smooth muscle found in the stomach wall allows mixing and mechanical breakdown by?
Chruning
