Question is incomplete. Complete question is as follows:
The ____ abuts the lumen of the alimentary canal and consists of epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae.
Answer:
Mucosa
Explanation:
Mucosa or mucosal membrane forms the lining of many cavities in the body like the alimentary canal and also covers many internal organs. It lines reproductive, digestive and respiratory system. In the gastrointestinal tract the mucosa is made of three layers: epithelium, lamina propria and muscularis mucosae.
The epithelium of mucosa is made of simple columnar epithelium cells. It consists of many types of cells like parietal cells (secrete HCL) and foveolar cells (secrete mucus). Lamina propria is a loose connective tissue present beneath the epithelium. It provides nutrition and support to epithelium. Muscularis mucosae has smooth muscle fibers which helps the glands on the surface to secrete their contents and also increase the contact between contents of lumen and epithelium.
Chlorosis is a condition in which the leaves of the green plants do not have enough nutrients so as to synthesize the chlorophyll to keep the leaves green. Thus the leaves loose their color. The loss of chlorophyll from the older leaves is the characteristic feature of magnesium deficiency. It happens when the soil in which the plants are growing lacks magnesium.
