block10-1_07.jpg - Fig 2. 93W6748 The microscopic structure of the esophagus.The mucosa is made up of three components: a lining epithelium(E), an underlying connective tissue called lamina propria (L),and a thin smooth muscle layer, muscularis mucosa (MM). Theepithelium of the esophagus is stratified squamous epithelium.The lamina propria consists of loose supporting tissue withdiffuse lymphocytes. The muscularis mucosa is composed oflongitudinally organized smooth muscle. The submucosa of theesophagus consists of dense irregular connective tissue thatcontains the larger blood and lymphatic vessels, nerve plexus,and esophageal glands (EG). There is an excretory duct (D) ofesophageal glands adjacent to the gland.
