among the characteristics of taenia coli are : highly corrugated muscle cell profiles ( even when the muscle is fixed in a resting condition ) , very high surface-to-volume ratio ( 1 micron m2/0.5 micron m3 ) , large percentage volume of the extracellular space ( about 40 % ) , absence of intramuscular septa , and very large number of elastic fibres , which run mainly longitudinally in broad meshworks parallel to the serosal surface .
