Would sections of the gut wall taken from the esophagus stomach and small intestine look the same and why?
No, because each of these organs carry out different functions. The stomach wall secretes a strong acid, so it will look different to the small intestine, which is responsible for absorbing nutrients and producing enzymes. This in turn bears no resemblance to the oesophagus - best suited to carry out the process of peristalsis, allowing food to move through, into the stomach.
