The stomach has thicker walls than the small intestine. This is primarily due to the need for the stomach to withstand the mechanical forces of digestion and the acidic environment necessary for breaking down food. The stomach's muscular layers, particularly the circular and oblique muscles, are more developed to facilitate churning and mixing of food, while the small intestine's walls are thinner, allowing for nutrient absorption.
