The next layer after the mucosa is called the submucosa. This layer is a thick layer of loose connective tissue. Although this layer does not have any sub-layers, it does have blood vessels, vessels belonging to the lymphatic system, and nerves, some of which control digestion.In some places, such as the small intestine, the submucosa also contains cells that secrete mucus onto the surface of the tract.After the submucosa is a layer called the muscularis externa. Except for the upper portion of the esophagus, this layer consists of smooth muscle.n some places, such as the small intestine, the submucosa also contains cells that secrete mucus onto the surface of the tract.

Between the inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of smooth muscle is another critical component of the digestive tract's nervous system-the myenteric plexus. Tunica submucosa lies immediately beneath the mucosa, and is a layer of loose to dense connective tissue containing blood and lymphatic vessels.The submucosa also contains the submucous plexus, a critical component of the digestive tract's nervous system which provides nervous control to the mucosa.n most of the digestive tract (stomach and intestines) it consists of a thin layer of loose connective tissue covered by mesothelium (a type of squamous epithelium that lines body cavities); within the peritoneal cavity, this structure is also referred to as visceral peritoneum.
