Taenia Coli
The taeniae coli (also teniae coli or tenia coli) are three separate longitudinal ribbons (''taeniae'' meaning ribbon in Latin) 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 or fibrosa. There are three teniae coli: mesocolic, free and omental taeniae coli. The teniae coli contract lengthwise to produce the haustra, the bulges in the colon. The bands converge at the root of the vermiform appendix. At the rectosigmoid junction, the taeniae spread out and unite to form the longitudinal muscle layer. In the caecum, the ascending colon, the descending colon and sigmoid colon the positions of these bands are fixed. The taenia libera, is placed anteriorly in the caecum, ascending, descending and sigmoid colon, but is placed inferiorly in the transverse colon. The taenia mesocolica is present on the posteromedial surface of caecum, ascending, descending and sigmoid colon, but is placed ...

Taenia Thalami
In the front, superior surface of the thalamus but separate from the inner, medial surface by a salient margin is the taenia thalami (Latin for "flat band" of the thalamus). The bottom epithelial lining of the third ventricle is in between the tela choroidea The tela choroidea (or tela chorioidea) is a region of meningeal pia mater that adheres to the underlying ependyma, and gives rise to the choroid plexus in each of the brain’s four ventricles. ''Tela'' is Latin for ''woven'' and is used to desc ... and the taenia thalami. References Thalamus {{neuroanatomy-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Taenia Of Fourth Ventricle
In the brain, the taenia of the fourth ventricle (lingula, tenia of fourth ventricle) are two narrow bands of white matter, one on either side, which complete the lower part of the roof of the fourth ventricle. Each consists of a vertical and a horizontal part. * The ''vertical part'' is continuous below the obex with the gracile nucleus, to which it is adherent by its lateral border. * The ''horizontal portion'' extends transversely across the inferior peduncle, below the striae medullares, and roofs in the lower and posterior part of the lateral recess; it is attached by its lower margin to the inferior peduncle, and partly encloses the choroid plexus, which, however, projects beyond it like a cluster of grapes; and hence this part of the tænia has been termed the ''cornucopia''.

Taenia (tapeworm)
''Taenia'' is the type genus of the Taeniidae family of tapeworms (a type of helminth). It includes some important parasites of livestock. Members of the genus are responsible for taeniasis and cysticercosis in humans, which are types of helminthiasis belonging to the group of neglected tropical diseases. More than 100 species are recorded. They are morphologically characterized by a ribbon-like body composed of a series of segments called proglottids; hence the name ''Taenia'' (Greek ταίνια, ''tainia'' meaning ribbon, bandage, or stripe). The anterior end of the body is the scolex. Some members of the genus ''Taenia'' have an armed scolex (hooks and/or spines located in the "head" region); of the two major human parasites, ''Taenia saginata'' has an unarmed scolex, while ''Taenia solium'' has an armed scolex. The proglottids have a central ovary, with a vitellarium (yolk gland) posterior to it. As in all cyclophyllid cestodes, a genital pore occurs on the side of the pro ...

Cepola
''Cepola'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the bandfish family, Cepolidae. The name red bandfish is applied to all members of this genus, but particularly ''C. macrophthalma'', and generally not ''C. australis'', which is also known as the Australian bandfish. Taxonomy ''Cepola'' was first formally described as a genus in 1764 by Carolus Linnaeus with ''Ophidion macrophthalmum'' as the type species by monotypy. The generic name ''Cepola'' means "little onion", Linnaeus did not explain why he chose this name. It is likely derived from ''cepollam'' or ''cepulam'', which in 1686 was said by Francis Willughby to be local names among Roman fishermen for the similar "''Fierasfer"'', a pearlfish, to which Linnaeus believed ''Cepola macrophthalma'' was related. As well as this, in 1872 Giovanni Canestrini reported that in Naples the common name for ''C. macropthalma'' is ''Pesce cipolia'' meaning “onion fish”. Species There are currently five recognized species ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tinea (moth)
''Tinea'' is a genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Tineinae. As evident by its name, it is the type genus of its subfamily and family. Established as one of the first subgroups of ''" Phalaena"'', it used to contain many species of Tineidae that are nowadays placed in other genera, as well as a few moths nowadays placed elsewhere. Selected species Species of ''Tinea'' include: * '' Tinea antricola'' Meyrick, 1924 * '' Tinea apicimaculella'' Chambers, 1875 * '' Tinea atmogramma'' Meyrick, 1927 * '' Tinea basifasciella'' Ragonot, 1895 * '' Tinea behrensella'' Chambers, 1875 * '' Tinea bothniella'' Svensson, 1953 * '' Tinea carnariella'' Clemens, 1859 * '' Tinea chaotica'' Meyrick, 1893 * '' Tinea columbariella'' Wocke, 1877 * '' Tinea corynephora'' Turner, 1927 * '' Tinea croceoverticella'' Chambers, 1876 * '' Tinea drymonoma'' Turner, 1923 * '' Tinea dubiella'' Stainton, 1859 * '' Tinea flavescentella'' Haworth, 1828 * '' Tinea flavofi ...

Scarabaeidae
The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 30,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change in recent years. Several subfamilies have been elevated to family rank (e.g., Bolboceratidae, Geotrupidae, Glaresidae, Glaphyridae, Hybosoridae, Ochodaeidae, and Pleocomidae), and some reduced to lower ranks. The subfamilies listed in this article are in accordance with those in Bouchard (2011). Description Scarabs are stout-bodied beetles, many with bright metallic colours, measuring between . They have distinctive, clubbed antennae composed of plates called lamellae that can be compressed into a ball or fanned out like leaves to sense odours. Many species are fossorial, with legs adapted for digging. In some groups males (and sometimes females) have prominent horns on the head and/or pronotum to fight over mates or resources. The largest fossil scaraba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Taenia (architecture)
A taenia (Latin ''taenia''; derived from the Ancient Greek ταινία ('' tainía''): "band" or "ribbon") is a small "fillet" molding near the top of the architrave in a Doric column. In classical architecture, the entire structure above the columns is called the entablature. It is commonly divided into the architrave, directly above the columns; the frieze, a strip with no horizontal molding, which is ornamented in all but the Tuscan order; and the cornice, the projecting and protective member at the top. The architrave, the lowest band, is split from bottom to top into the broad fascia, the guttae or "drips" (below the triglyph in the frieze), and the ''taenia'' (below the projecting cymatium). See also * Classical order * Roman architecture Notes References * Image: Table of architecture, Cyclopaedia, 1728, volume 1 Table may refer to: * Table (furniture), a piece of furniture with a flat surface and one or more legs * Table (landform), a flat area of land * Table ...

Tainia (costume)
In ancient Greek costume, a tainia ( grc, ταινία; pl: or lat, taenia; pl: ''taeniae'') was a headband, ribbon, or fillet. The tainia headband was worn with the traditional ancient Greek costume. The headbands were worn at Greek festivals. The gods also bound their heads with ''tainiai''. Furthermore, cult images, trees, urns, monuments, animal sacrifices and the deceased had ''tainiai'' wound around them. They were later adopted by the Romans. Brill's New Pauly. Brill Online, 2013. Reference. 28 June 2013 A similar type of headband was the ''a'', used as a symbol for kings. See also * |
