pedicel

The hole in the shell serves for the protrusion of a pedicel or foot by means of which the animal is enabled to attach itself.

The berries are quite persistent, hanging to the pedicel some time after ripe.

Each cirrus consists of a two-jointed pedicel, carrying two multiarticulated rami.

There are, also, powerful muscles giving movement to the basal segments of the pedicel of the first pair of cirri.
