Question

Good afternoon sir / mam

Question= which tissue is responsible for movement of food in oesophagus?

Muscular tissue

Epithelial tissue

My answer is muscular tissue because they cause movement but if we see it another way then the epithelial tissues are present in the lining of oesophagus

Thankyou

Answer 1

The muscular tissue is responsible for movement of food in oesophagus beacuse this is responsible for movement in our body.

But the epithelial tissues are present in the lining of oesophagus beacuse helping to wash food along, in addition to the action of muscular peristalsis.
The esophageal lining is protected by a stratified squamous epithelium. Because this epithelium is normally not exposed to dryness or to abrasion, it is non-keratinized. A well-developed muscularis provides peristaltic propulsion of food.
