This medium magnification image of the muscularis externa illustrates the smooth muscle cells of the outer longitudinal muscle layer (shown in cross-section here). Identify the myenteric plexus containing enteric neurons (ganglion cells) and supporting cells (enteric glia). Within the circular muscle layer, look for cigar-shaped nuclei of smooth muscle cells (they are sliced longitudinally in this cross-section). UCLA Histology Collection. |
