You are looking at a slide of an unknown organ that has an empty lumen with stratified squamous epithelium contacting the lumen. deep to the epithelium is a basement membrane and then two layers of smooth muscle. which of the following organs would this most likely belong to and why?
a) the intestines because they need to move food along and absorb digested products.
b) the liver because it secretes enzymes and bile and needs to move them to the gallbladder.
c) the esophagus because it is a passageway that needs to move but not absorb food products.
d) the urinary bladder because it needs to stretch and constrict to store and eliminate urine.
