Esophagus
This image shows a higher magnification of the mucosa. The lamina propria contains numerous small veins and lymphatics. A thick muscularis mucosae of smooth muscle is present. This is a longitudinal section of the esophagus and thus the circularly-arranged smooth muscle fibers are seen in cross section. 200x
