The walls of the gastrointestinal tract have four typical layers or "tunics". Identify each layer (mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, or serosa; Layers 1-4, sub-layer circular layer, longitudinal layer, epithelium, lamina propria, or muscularis mucosae; Layers A-E, and structure A-D) in the figure below: Layer A Layer 1 Structure C Layer B Structure A Layer 2 Layer 3 Structure B Lumen Structure D Layer C Layer 4 Layer D Layer E Submucosal gland
