This is also heterogeneous, i.e. a composite of carbon-poor iron and cementite. Going to very fast cooling (quenching) will result in a single-phase (not composite) material called martensite. Here the carbon doesn't have time to exit the iron, and this martensite phase is very hard, but also normally too brittle.
Epithelial tissue - to cover the inner and outer surfaces of the stomach The stomach is one of the organs that form the digestive system. The stomach contains various tissues, and each tissue is made of a particular type of cell. In order of increasing size and complexity: cells â tissues â organ (the stomach) â organ system (the digestive system)
The stomach wall has 5 layers: 1  The innermost layer is the mucosa. 2  Next is a supporting layer called the submucosa. 3  Outside of this is the muscularis propria, a thick layer of muscle that moves and mixes the stomach contents. 4  The outer 2 layers, the subserosa and the outermost serosa, wrap the stomach. Body (corpus): The main part of the stomach, between the upper and lower parts. 2  Antrum: The lower portion (near the intestine), where the food is mixed with gastric juice. 3  Pylorus: The last part of the stomach, which acts as a valve to control emptying of the stomach contents into the small intestine.
