(clue: look up Hirschsprung's disease.) The first important step in development of the digestive system occurs during folding of the embryonic disc as neurulation takes place (weeks 4 and 5) - the thin endodermal layer is gathered up' inside the embryonic body to form a tubular structure. Gut tube, respiratory diverticulum, yolk sac, and allantois.
This layer has two sub-layers of smooth muscle called the inner circular layer and the outer longitudinal layer. The cells of the inner circular layer, which is closer to the submucosa layer, wrap around the digestive tract like a ring.
