large vessels and nn found here

32
Q

developmentally

A

epithlial lining from endoderm

CT and smooth m from mesoderm

33
Q

moving distally

A
SA increases
lumen widens
invaginations (pits)
more distally become invaginations (crypts) and evaginations (villi)
goblet cells increase 
basophilia of mucous increases
lyph infiltation of CT increases
