Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ridges of muscle tissue called rugae line the stomach. The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. The pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gastric rugae are the redundant folds of gastric mucosa that are most prominent when the stomach is collapsed. The reservoir and mixing functions of the stomach demand a thick, expansile, muscular vessel, which characterizes gastric morphology. Gastric mucosa is composed of columnar epithelium.
