Capitulum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Capitulum can refer to three things:
- In botany, plants may have a flower head that is a dense, with indeterminate inflorescence of sessile or subsessile flowers crowded on a compound receptacle; sometimes called a capitulum.
- In entomology, some species of stick insects, like the genus Bacteria have a structure similar to an elaiosome on their eggs, which encourages ants to pick them up and carry them away. The ants bury the eggs, where they are less likely to be parasitized by wasps.
- In human anatomy, the capitulum is found at the distal end of the humerus bone.
- Chapter (religion)
