Answer:

The three muscle layers in the stomach's mascularis externa.

Explanation:

The stomach has four layers in their wall; The mucosa which is the inner lining of the stomach that secretes hydrochloric acid. The submucosa made of connective tissues, nerve fibres and blood vessels. The mascularis externa, made of 3 muscle layers responsible for contraction and parastalsis. The outer fibrous membrane or layer called serose.

The muscularis externa in the stomach is unique in that it has three muscle layers compared to the rest of the gastrointestinal tract. This is because the stomach has to work extra hard in mechanically breaking down chunks of food into smaller pieces during digestion.

The trees in a forest all have closed stomata. what is the cause?
ivanzaharov [21]
This is to prevent water loss by the trees. Under drought or dry conditions, plants may close their stomata to limit the amount of water that evaporates from their leaves a process called transpiration. In this process water diffuses through the stomata into the atmosphere, in a bid to preserve water plants may close their stomata, especially during very dry climates.
