Chapter 22.3, Problem 2QC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the extra layer of smooth muscle in muscularis externa of the stomach.
Introduction:
The stomach contains four tissue layers, which are same as that of the alimentary canal. The layers are mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa. The stomach’s mucosa and muscularis externa are modified, such that they can perform their functions in a better manner.
