Taeniae coli are three distinct bands of smooth muscle that run along the length of the colon. They are responsible for the contraction and peristaltic movements of the colon, aiding in the propulsion of fecal matter. These bands are shorter than the colon itself, causing the colon to form pouches known as haustra. The taeniae coli play a crucial role in the overall functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
