The basic lining of both is stratified squamous epithelium (SSE).
However, the type of SSE in stomach and intestines is specially modified for that particular region. For instance, the SSE in the stomach is contains special cells which secrete gastric juices, while at the same time, the lining of the stomach should be able to withstand the acidity of these juices. The SSE lining the [small] intestines on the other hand, contains projections called villi (singular villus) which aid in digestion and also increase the surface area of the intestines; and the SSE also contains goblet cells which secrete mucus.
The endoderm layer of embryonic tissue forms the lining of the digestive tract. It gives rise to the epithelial cells that make up the inner lining of the gastrointestinal system.
Epithelial tissue forms the lining of various organs in the body. This tissue provides protection, secretion, and absorption functions depending on its location and structure.
The tissue type that covers the external surface of the stomach is known as the serosa. It is a type of connective tissue that forms the outermost layer of the stomach and helps protect and support the organ.
The large intestine, also known as the colon, is not located in the stomach but is connected to the stomach and small intestine. It primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from undigested food, forms and stores feces, and plays a role in maintaining the balance of gut bacteria.
The tissue that protects the outside of the body and covers internal structures such as the intestines is epithelial tissue. This type of tissue forms a barrier that lines surfaces and cavities, providing protection, secretion, and absorption. It includes various forms, such as skin epithelium on the exterior and simple columnar epithelium lining the intestines. Epithelial tissue plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and function of both external and internal environments.

Epithelial tissue forms lining layers of structures in the body.ExamplesThere is epithelial tissue in the skin.Epithelial tissue forms the inner lining of the stomach, lungs, and blood vessels.There are different types of epithelial tissue, distinguished by the different shapes of their constituent cells: squamous, cuboidal, and columnar.Squamous (pavement) epithelium consists of flattened cells. There are multiple layers of this type of epithelium in human skin. It is protective in function.Cuboidal epithelium is made up of cells shaped like cubes. It is found in the kidney, for example, and in involved in absorption and secretion. Columnar epithelium has tall cells. They occur, for example, in the small intestine, where they are involved in secreting digestive juices and absorbing the products of digestion.
The food after being digested by the stomach forms chyme. Chyme is highly acidic, considering that the stomach has HCl of pH 1-2(interestingly, the stomach lining itself is changed every 2 weeks to avoid being damaged by the acid). If this chyme comes in contact with the lining of the intestine, it can severely damage the cells. Bile contains bile salts which are alkaline in nature. So its basic function is to neutalise the chyme.
Epithelial tissue forms the lining of various organs in the body. This tissue provides protection, secretion, and absorption functions depending on its location and structure.
Endothelial tissue forms the inner lining of blood vessels. This thin layer of cells plays a crucial role in regulating vascular tone, blood flow, and the movement of substances between the bloodstream and surrounding tissues.
Columnar epithelium tissue in the stomach primarily serves to protect the stomach lining and facilitate digestion. It consists of tall, column-shaped cells that secrete mucus, which forms a protective barrier against gastric acid and digestive enzymes. Additionally, these cells produce digestive substances and help in the absorption of nutrients. The overall function of this tissue is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the stomach and aiding in the digestive process.

Mucus produced by goblet cells in the lining the stomach forms a protective layer preventing the stomach from digesting itself.
