22In the large bowl, the [blank_start]longitudinal[blank_end] muscle of the muscularis [blank_start]externa[blank_end] thickens into 3 longitudinal strips known as [blank_start]teniae coli[blank_end].

24Diverticular openings are outpouchings of the muscularis and [blank_start]mucosa[blank_end] that are pathological. They are most commonly found in the [blank_start]sigmoid colon[blank_end].

If this fluid becomes infected, it causes [blank_start]diverticulitis[blank_end] which can lead to bleeding and inflammation.
