Brief Explanations
The muscularis externa is a layer of smooth muscle. Smooth muscle contractions (peristalsis) in this layer are responsible for churning food (mechanical digestion) and moving it along the alimentary canal. The mucosa is involved in secretion and absorption, the submucosa has connective tissue and blood vessels, and the serosa is an outer protective layer.
