[This figure shows two biological diagrams of what appears to
be a cross-section of the mucus membrane of the esophagus. The
following regions of the first are labeled (in descending
order): tunica mucosa; tela submucosa; tunica muscularis; and
tunica adventitia. The following areas of these regions are
labeled (also in descending order): papilla of tunica propria;
epitheum, tunica propria; lamina muscularis mucosae; ducts
of deep oesophageal gland; blood vesses of submucuous layer;
portion of myenteric plexus, showing ganglion cells; smooth
muscle; striated muscle; and branch of vagus nerve. It conforms
with modern diagrams of the esophagus.]
[The second diagram appears to be a cross-section of the
intestinal wall, and is horizontally oriented. The left region
is labeled "gastric pit," and the right region, "Tubule of
gland." Areas of the left region are labeled "Lumen," "Mucus
(goblet) epithelial cells," and "Tunica propria." The right
region has labels of "parietal cells," "chief cells" and
also a separate cross-sectional picture labeled "tubule cut
transversely." It conforms with modern diagrams of this area
of the intestinal wall.]
