5 linings of the stomach
Mucosa. This is the first and innermost layer or lining. It contains the glands that release digestive juices. These are called hydrochloric acid and pepsin. This is where most stomach cancers start.
Submucosa. This second layer supports the mucosa. It is rich in blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.
Muscularis. The third layer is made of thick muscles. They help to mix food with the digestive juices.
Subserosa. This layer contains supporting tissues for the serosa.
Serosa. This is the last and outermost layer. It’s the lining that wraps around the stomach to confine it.
