The orientation of the muscles of the stomach is crucial for efficient digestion and food processing. The muscle layers, arranged in different orientations (longitudinal, circular, and oblique), allow for effective churning and mixing of food with digestive juices. This coordinated contraction helps break down food mechanically and aids in the movement of chyme into the small intestine. Proper muscle orientation also supports the regulation of gastric emptying and prevents backflow, ensuring optimal digestive function.
