The third layer of the digestive system consist of what?

The third layer of the digestive system is the muscular layer, known as the muscularis externa.

The muscular layer helps mix and propel food along the digestive tract for digestion and absorption.

(The muscles for chewing and swallowing are voluntary muscles; the rest are involuntary.)
