Which of these structures is found in the stomach but nowhere else in the alimentary canal?

a. an oblique muscle layer
b. a lining of columnar epithelium
c. a circular muscle layer
d. mucus-forming cells

A. an oblique muscle layer  

Explanation:

The alimentary canal has four main layers:

Mucosa (innermost layer which surrounds the lumen), submucosa (connective tissue with blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves), muscular layer, serosa ( outermost layer of connective tissue).

Muscular layer is subdivided into:

•the inner- arranged in circular rings, prevents food from travelling backward  

•  outer layer- arranged longitudinally,  shortens the tract.

The stomach has an extra layer called inner oblique muscular layer (churning function).

a few examples of ethical concerns involving genetically engineering of humans include

-privacy of genetically tested people

- potential side effects

-long term effects

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
