Submucosa
The submucosa consists of dense, irregular connective tissue containing larger blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics. In addition, the submucosa also contains the submucosal (Meissner’s) plexus which innervates the smooth muscle of the muscularis mucosae and regulates glandular secretions. 200x
