The stomach has three layers of muscle, known as the muscularis externa, which consist of an outer longitudinal layer, a middle circular layer, and an inner oblique layer. These layers work together to facilitate the mixing and churning of food, aiding in digestion. The coordinated contractions of these muscles help propel the food through the stomach and into the small intestine. This unique arrangement allows for effective mechanical digestion.

What kind of muscles are elongated arranged in sheets and contain multiple nuclei?
Skeletal muscles contain elongated muscle fibers arranged in sheets and have multiple nuclei. Smooth muscles and cardiac muscles also have elongated cells, but they are not arranged in sheets and do not have multiple nuclei in each cell.
What type muscle cells are arranged in sheets or layers with adjacent muscle cells electrically connected by gap junctions and mechanically connected by dense bodies?
Smooth muscle cells are arranged in sheets or layers with adjacent cells connected by gap junctions and dense bodies. This allows for coordinated contraction and relaxation of muscle tissue.
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.
