Assuming you mean muscularis, it's a part of the layers found around our Gastrointestinal system and other systems in our body (Reproductive tract etc).
The 4 layers are:
1. mucosa (epithelial layer)
2. submucosa
3. muscularis
4. serosa
Muscularis has both longitudinal and circular muscle layers (in the GI tract this is smooth muscle which is used for peristalisis, haustration, etc). Muscularis layer is contractile and used in the GI tract for moving food through the system, or in the reproductive tract for contractions for birth, etc.
Hope this helps?
What else can I help you with?
What contains skeletal muscle a muscularis b. mucosa c. serosa d. submucosa?
muscularis
Which layer of the alimentary canal is responsible for segmentation and peristalsis?
the smooth muscles are responsible for perstalsis and segmentation, so that means its the muscularis externa. :)
What are the 4 histological layers of the gut?
The four histological layers of the gut are the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa (or adventitia). The mucosa is the innermost layer, containing epithelial cells and glands. The submucosa provides support and contains blood vessels and nerves. The muscularis externa is responsible for peristalsis, and the serosa (or adventitia) is the outermost layer providing protection and support.
Which of the following is the correct order of the layers of the gastrointestinal tract wall from lumen to external surface?
The correct order of the layers of the gastrointestinal tract wall from lumen to external surface is mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa (or adventitia depending on the location in the body).
Epithelium lamina propria and muscularis mucosae are levels of which layer of the GI tract?
The epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae are levels of the mucosa, which is the innermost layer of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The mucosa is responsible for absorption and secretion.
What is muscularis propria?
Muscularis propria is a layer of smooth muscle found in the gastrointestinal tract. It is located between the mucosa and the submucosa, and its main function is to provide motility for the movement of food through the digestive system.
What contains skeletal muscle a muscularis b. mucosa c. serosa d. submucosa?
muscularis
What are the subdivisions of the layer of muscularis?
The subdivisions of the wall layer muscularis externa are the longitudinal layer, circular layer, and oblique layer.
Which layer of the alimentary canal is responsible for segmentation and peristalsis?
the smooth muscles are responsible for perstalsis and segmentation, so that means its the muscularis externa. :)
What are the subdivisions of mucosa?
The mucosa is divided into three layers: epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae. The epithelium is the outermost layer, followed by the lamina propria, which is a thin layer of connective tissue. The muscularis mucosae is the innermost layer, consisting of smooth muscle cells that help with movement and function of the mucosa.
What are the layers of the bladder?
tunica mucosa, muscularis, adventitia
What are the 4 histological layers of the gut?
The four histological layers of the gut are the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa (or adventitia). The mucosa is the innermost layer, containing epithelial cells and glands. The submucosa provides support and contains blood vessels and nerves. The muscularis externa is responsible for peristalsis, and the serosa (or adventitia) is the outermost layer providing protection and support.
The layer that contracts to churn food or move food along?
muscularis
What type of muscle found in the gut?
Smooth Muscle - Muscularis Mucosa
What layer of alimentary canal are the sphincter muscle found?
muscularis extrena
What are the cells that line the circulatory system?
red blood cells
How does the muscularis externa of the stomach relate to the function?
The third layer, the obliquely oriented layer, of smooth muscle in its muscularis externa allows the stomach to churn, mix, and pummel the food, physically reducing it into smaller pieces.
