Peduncle
Definition:
(n.) The stem or stalk that supports the flower or fruit of a plant, or a cluster of flowers or fruits.
(n.) A sort of stem by which certain shells and barnacles are attached to other objects. See Illust. of Barnacle.
(n.) A band of nervous or fibrous matter connecting different parts of the brain; as, the peduncles of the cerebellum; the peduncles of the pineal gland.
Example Sentences:
