Muscularis propria – this is also called muscular layer. This is found in many organs which includes the appendix. It is a thin smooth muscle. It is responsible for the movement of the gut. It is adjacent to the submucosa. It allows contraction for the elimination of indigested food.

Mucosa- this is the inner most layer in the lining or wall of the digestive tract. It is also called the mucus membrane. It usually produces folds which increase the surface area. Furthermore, it secretes mucus, digestive enzymes and hormones. Thus, in general, it functions for absorption and secretion of substances.

Smooth muscle – this is usually seen in the hollow organs of the body. It has no striations and the cells are appear as spindle shaped. Its main function in the digestive tract is to propel food allowing efficient digestion. It also helps in the absorption of nutrients and evacuation of indigestible food.

Ileum – The final and longest segment of the small intestine. It is specifically responsible for the absorption of vitamin B12 and the reabsorption of conjugated bile salts.

Duodenum – The first part of the small intestine. It connects to the stomach. The duodenum helps to further digest food coming from the stomach. It absorbs nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and water from food so they can be used by the body.

Duodenum – similar to all the other hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract: mucosa, submucosa and muscularis. The mucosa consists of simple columnar epithelium (lamina epithelialis), a connective tissue layer (lamina propria) and a smooth muscle layer (lamina muscularis).
Appendix – is completely invested by peritoneum, and has both an inner…
