Mucosa | Mucous; Deepest Layer. Epithelium, Lamina Propria, Muscularis Mucosae |
Mucosa--Epithelium | Function: Protection, Secretion, and Absorption |
Mucosa--Lamina Propria | Areolar Connective Tissue; Contains Blood and Lymphatic Vessels. Supports mucosa and binds to muscularis mucosa. Has nodules |
MALT | Mucosa Associated Lymphatic Tissue; Immune Response. All of GI tract, especially in tonsils, small intestine, appendix, large intestine |
Mucosa--Muscularis Mucosae | Causes mucous membrane of stomach and small intestine to form many small folds (for surface area). |
Submucosa | Meshwork of Collagenous Fibers, Nerves, and Blood Vessels. Connective tissue that binds mucosa to muscularis. Highly vascular, contains Submucosal Plexus |
Submucosal Plexus | Control Enteric Nervous System (ANS of gut). Sensory and motor neurons, regulates movements of mucosa and vasoconstrictions, and secretions of GI tract |
Muscularis | Skeletal Muscle: Mouth, pharynx, and middle esophagus -- voluntary swallowing; Anal Sphincter -- defacation Smooth Muscle: Inner circular fibers and outer longitudinal fibers--Involuntary contractions for digestion, mixing, and propulsion |
Myenteric Plexus | Vasomotor to Muscularis. Tract mobility and strength |
Serosa | Serous Membrane of Connective Tissue and simple Squamous; Visceral Peritoneum; Has serous fluid for immne protection and lubrication. Not in Esophagus |
