| | Polyp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | We can distinguish therefore in the body of a polyp the column, circular or oval in section, forming the trunk, resting on a base or foot and surmounted by the crown of tentacles, which enclose an area termed the peristome, in the centre of which again is the mouth. | | | In the class Anthozoa, comprising the sea-anemones and corals, the individual is always a polyp; in the class Hydrozoa, however, the individual may be either a polyp or a medusa. | | | By muscle-fibres belonging to the same two systems the whole body may be retracted or protruded. |

| | The Polyp: A Colon's Archrival |
| | Small polyps can often be suctioned through the endoscope's working channel into a trap device attached to the suction tubing, though one drawback of this technique is the possibility of red-outs, or the obstruction of the physician's view by the polyp itself. | | | A needle is inserted through the colonoscope and used to inject saline, epinephrine, or both at the base of the polyp. | | | As awareness of polyps and the associated risk of colon cancer continues to grow, nurses working within the endoscopy field will find it more and more necessary to stay abreast of advancements in polypectomy procedures and instrumentation. |
