TAENIA COLI

The 'taeniae coli' are three separate longitudinal ribbons of smooth muscle on the outside of the ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid colons. They are visible, and can be seen just below the serosa.
The bands converge at the vermiform appendix.
These bands correspond to the outer layer of the muscularis externa, in other portions of the digestive tract.
