there is fluid in this bowel (poop would be bright white because it is more solid)

vascular anatomy

what are the layers of the bowel wall?

1) Fluid/Mucosa Interface-Innermost layer Echogenic
2) Mucosa Lamina Propria /Muscularis Mucosa-Deeper – Hypoechoic
3) Submucosa- Below the Muscle- Echogenic
4) Muscularis Propria- Deeper –Hypoechoic
5) Serosa Final Layer- Echogenic
you are going from inside to outer layer of the bowel
our book says:
- mucosa: directly contacts the intraluminal contents; lined with epithelial folds; echogenic
- submucosa: contains blood vessels & lymph channels
- muscularis: contains circular and longitugdinal bands of fiber
- serosa: thin, loose layer of connective tissue
- mesothelium: covers intraperitoneal bowel loops

When filled with a small amount of fluid (arrows), the duodenum serves as an excellent landmark for the head of the pancreas (P).A, Aorta; IVC, inferior vena cava.
