Tissue layers of the Alimentary Canal Organs
Four layers from deep to superficial: 1. Mucosa 2. Submucosa 3. Muscularis Externa 4. Serosa

Tissue layers of the Alimentary Canal Organs
Muscularis externa smooth muscle layers Outer longitudinal layer Inner circular layer Serosa Visceral peritoneum —innermost Parietal peritoneum —outermost layer lines the abdominopelvic cavity by way of the mesentery (a large membrane extension) The mesentery holds organs in place, stores fat, and provides a route for vessels and nerves © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
