Longitudinal bands of muscle known as taenia coli run the length of this structure that is home to bifidobacteria.
Crosslinked galactomannan and lauroyldextran are used to coat drugs for delivery to this structure, and the absence of ganglia leads to abnormal dilatation of this structure in Hirschsprung's disease.
