(1) Here, we have shown the pilae ossifying dorsally, as an irregular sheet of bone running roughly between the pila antotica and a similar band of cartilage which comes off the top of the otic capsule, the taenia marginalis.(2) The ingestion of undercooked pork infected with cysticerci is the exclusive path to the development of intestinal taenia , which closes the life cycle of the parasite.(3) The tumor cell was found to be restiform and tenioid and it showed characteristics of carcinoid.(4) The shape of the hooks was typical of taenioid cestodes, most resembling hooks.(5) The longitudinal muscle layer continues between the teniae as a thin but complete coat.(6) The three taeniae coli converge at the base of the vermiform appendix on the cecum.(7) Contraction of the teniae coli exerts pressure on the wall and creates a series of pouches, called haustra, along the colon.(8) Hanging off the taeniae coli are pouches called epiploic appendages.(9) Bundles of muscle from the teniae coli penetrate the circular layer at irregular intervals.(10) It begins at the cecum, with the teniae coli .(11) These sites lie always between the mesenteric tenia and the two antimesenteric teniae, so that the diverticula form rows along the lateral surfaces of the organ.(12) The rostellum is normally present, rarely absent, and is armed with two alternating rows of hooks of characteristic taenioid shape.
