Two layers of muscle are enough to allow the small intestine to move food through the digestive canal via peristalsis.

Small particle size makes it easier to digest and absorb food's nutrients.

How do you loose stomach fat after giving birth?
First of all, there's no way to lose fat in one particular area, you will lose fat wherever your body chooses. During your first trimester you do not need to increase your calories at all, for the last 2 trimesters you only need to consume an extra 250 - 300 calories a day, you don't need to eat for 2. So first you need to make healthy choices about what you eat. Also, do not listen to people who tell you the only exersice you can do during pregnancy is brisk walks and swimming, it's not true. I've been working out at a gym doing 1 hour of weight traing and 20 minutes of cardio every second day. Abdominal exersices are excellent during pregnancy, they help with the birth, help eliminate back pain, RLS, insomnia, and fatigue. They will also help you to gain a flat stomach faster after the birth. Make sure you stay away from any exercise where you are laying flat on your back. You will not lose pounds on a scale, but you may lose some body fat that will be replaced by muscle mass.

That said:
"In the small intestine, stem cells in the crypts generate new absorptive, goblet, enteroendocrine, and Paneth cells, replacing most of the epithelial lining of the intestine every week. The diverse fates of the stem-cell progeny are controlled, in part at least, by the Notch signaling pathway, while the Wnt pathway is required to maintain the stem-cell population."

The acid does not break down food, but contains an enzyme called protease which breaks down proteins into polypeptide chains. No other digestion takes place in the stomach.
