stomach wall
Organ's inner surface
The stomach wall is the layered tissue forming the stomach's structure.
It consists of multiple layers—mucosa, submucosa, muscle, and outer coating—that work together to contain digestive acids, churn food, and absorb nutrients.
Medical contexts reference it when discussing ulcers, tumors, or other conditions affecting the stomach's integrity: The ulcer had eroded through the stomach wall.
