APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mucosa, or mucous membrane layer, is the innermost tunic of the wall. It lines the lumen of the digestive tract. The mucosa consists of epithelium, an underlying loose connective tissue layer called lamina propria, and a thin layer of smooth muscle called the muscularis mucosa.

Detailed explanation-2: -It’s also called the mucous membrane. Mucosa has three layers: epithelium, lamina propria and muscularis mucosae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lamina propria is loose connective tissue in a mucosa. Lamina propria supports the delicate mucosal epithelium, allows the epithelium to move freely with respect to deeper structures, and provides for immune defense. Compared to other loose connective tissue, lamina propria is relatively cellular.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lamina propria constitutes the layer of loose connective tissue and interstitial matrix located just below the epithelium. In the stomach, the lamina propria tends to be relatively inconspicuous, filling the interstitial spaces between the tubular gastric glands.

Detailed explanation-5: -The mucosal lining of the stomach is simple columnar epithelium with numerous tubular gastric glands.
