Typhlosolis

A Typhlosolis (from Gr. Τυφλός - blind and σωλήνας - tube / gutter) is a fold of the intestinal wall that protrudes into the intestine. Typhlosoles come e.g. B. in molluscs (mollusks), terrestrial annelids (Annelida), woodlice (Isopoda) and lampreys . In addition to improving food intake by increasing the total surface area of the intestine, the typhlosolis can also take on other functions, for example the typhlosolis in lampreys, as a place of formation of white blood cells , corresponds functionally to the spleen of higher vertebrates .
