Question 5

Very thin tunic made of simple squamous epithelium that surrounds the outside of the organ

most superficial

Answer 5

Serosa

Question 6

The muscle layers help in peristalsis-wavelike movements of muscles moving foodstuffs through the alimentary canal to the outside of the body

Lies immediately inside the serosa

Answer 6

Muscularis externa

Question 7

Empty looking tunic in most organs, containing only scattered nuclei, a few wavy collagen fibers and sometimes glandular tissue

lay next to the muscularis externa

Answer 7

Submucosa

Question 8

comprised of 3 layers

closest to the lumen

Answer 8

Mucosa

Question 9

Thin layer of smooth muscle, usually quite distinct as a dark pink band.

most superficial of the mucosa

Answer 9

Muscularis mucosa

Question 10

A lose matrix of cells and ground tissue

middle layer of mucosa

Answer 10

Lamina propina

Question 11

Protects the organ from the contents in the lumen
