A morphologic study of the submucosa of the large intestine

M G Lord et al. Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1977 Jul.

Abstract

The morphologic structure of human, rat and mouse submucosa is similar. The strength, natural tension and extensibility of the submucosa can be readily interpreted form the physical properties of collagen and its structural arrangement as a pliable honeycomb. The perforations allow blood and lymph vessels to reach the mucosa.
