Solution

The correct option is A

Longitudinal muscles → circular muscles → submucosa → mucosa


The correct option is A.

Explanation of the correct answer:

  1. The layers of the gut are serosa, muscularis, submucosa and mucosa.
  2. The serosa is the outermost layer of connective tissues.
  3. Below it is the smooth mucosa which has an outer layer of longitudinal muscles and an inner layer of circular muscles.
  4. The submucosa is a loose connective tissue with nerves, lymphoid tissue, and blood vessels.
  5. The innermost layer is the mucosa which is an epithelial layer with no nerves.

Final answer: The lining of the intestinal wall from outside to inside is made up of serosa ⇢ longitudinal smooth muscle cells ⇢ circular smooth muscle cells ⇢ submucosa ⇢ mucosa.
