There Is

suggestion

"There are two smooth muscle sphincters, oesophageal and pyloric, that dictate entry into and exit from the stomach. These are under the control of several mechanisms including stimulant (parasympathetic) and inhibitory (orthosympathetic) control from the anterior gastric, posterior, superior and inferior coeliac plexus and myenteric nerve plexuses."

Oxford Comma

suggestion

Line 11:32 · Use the Oxford comma in 'sphincters, oesophageal and pyloric'.

Line 11:291 · Use the Oxford comma in 'posterior, superior and inferior'.

"The stomach wall contains several different types of glandular tissue. The cardia, fundus and pylorus all have different types of glands and are composed of a variety of different cells:"
