From interior surface to the outer surface, the digestive tube wall is made up of mucosa (that is, epithelial tissue accountable for the intestinal absorption), submucosa (that is, connective tissue below the mucous membrane and where lymphatic vessels, blood and neural fibers are situated), muscle layers (that is, smooth muscle tissue, two layers, one internal circular and other exterior longitudinal, structures accountable for the peristaltic movement), serous membrane (related epithelial and connective tissue making the exterior surface of the organ). In bowels, the serous membrane prolongs to make the mesentery, a serosa which encloses blood vessels and supports the bowels in the abdominal cavity.
