The GI tract is composed of four layers or also know as Tunics. Each layer has different tissues and functions. From the inside out they are called: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa. Mucosa: The mucosa is the absorptive and secretory layer. It is composed of simple epithelium cells and a thin connective tissue. There are specialized goblet cells that secrete mucus throughout the GI tract located within the mucosa. On the mucosa layer there are Villi and Micro Villi. Submucosa: The submucosa is relatively thick, highly vascular, and serves the mucosa. The absorbed elements that pass through the mucosa are picked up from the blood vessels of the submucosa. The submucosa also has glands and nerve plexuses. Muscularis: The muscularis is responsible for segmental contractions and peristaltic movement in the GI tract. The muscularis is composed of two layers of muscle: an inner circular and outer longitudinal layer of smooth muscle. These muscles cause food to move and churn with digestive enzymes down the GI tract. Serosa: The last layer is a protective layer. It is composed of avascular connective tissue and simple squamous epithelium. It secretes lubricating serous fluid. This is the visible layer on the outside of the organs.

The GI tract is composed of four layers or also know as Tunics. Each layer has different tissues and functions. From the inside out they are called: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa.

Mucosa: The mucosa is the absorptive and secretory layer. It is composed of simple epithelium cells and a thin connective tissue. There are specialized goblet cells that secrete mucus throughout the GI tract located within the mucosa. On the mucosa layer there are Villi and Micro Villi.

Submucosa: The submucosa is relatively thick, highly vascular, and serves the mucosa. The absorbed elements that pass through the mucosa are picked up from the blood vessels of the submucosa. The submucosa also has glands and nerve plexuses.

Muscularis: The muscularis is responsible for segmental contractions and peristaltic movement in the GI tract. The muscularis is composed of two layers of muscle: an inner circular and outer longitudinal layer of smooth muscle. These muscles cause food to move and churn with digestive enzymes down the GI tract.

Serosa: The last layer is a protective layer. It is composed of avascular connective tissue and simple squamous epithelium. It secretes lubricating serous fluid. This is the visible layer on the outside of the organs.

Saluran GI terdiri dari empat lapisan atau juga dikenal sebagai tunik. Setiap lapisan memiliki jaringan dan fungsi yang berbeda. Dari dalam ke luar mereka disebut: mukosa, submukosa, muskularis, dan serosa.

Mukosa: mukosa adalah lapisan serap dan sekresi. Hal ini terdiri dari sel-sel epitel sederhana dan jaringan ikat tipis. Ada sel goblet khusus yang mengeluarkan lendir di seluruh saluran pencernaan yang terletak di dalam mukosa. Pada lapisan mukosa ada Villi dan Micro Villi.

Submukosa: submukosa relatif tebal, sangat vaskular, dan melayani mukosa. Unsur yang diserap yang melewati mukosa dijemput dari pembuluh darah submukosa. Submukosa ini juga memiliki kelenjar dan pleksus saraf.

Muskularis: muskularis bertanggung jawab atas kontraksi segmental dan gerakan peristaltik di saluran pencernaan. Muskularis ini terdiri dari dua lapisan otot: lapisan longitudinal yang dalam melingkar dan luar otot polos. Otot-otot ini menyebabkan makanan untuk bergerak dan churn dengan enzim pencernaan bawah saluran pencernaan.

Serosa: Lapisan terakhir adalah lapisan pelindung. Hal ini terdiri dari jaringan ikat avaskular dan epitel skuamosa sederhana. Ini mengeluarkan cairan pelumas serous. Ini adalah lapisan terlihat pada bagian luar organ.
