Taeniae Coli: 

  • The colon has three longitudinal bands made up of longitudinal muscles. These are called taeniae coli. 
  • Tonic contractions of the teniae coli bunch up the colon into a succession of pouches called haustra (singular = haustrum), which are responsible for the wrinkled appearance of the colon. 
  • Attached to the teniae coli are small, fat-filled sacs of visceral peritoneum called epiploic appendages. The purpose of this is unknown.

Transverse colon is considered the longest part of the large intestine.
