Bowel mucosa is the innermost layer of the gastrointestinal tract, specifically the lining of the intestines, including both the small and large intestines. It is composed of epithelial cells and connective tissue, playing a crucial role in nutrient absorption, secretion of digestive enzymes, and protection against pathogens.
