Sessility (botany) subsessile, which is not completely sessile. Sessility (botany) In botany, sessility (meaning "sitting", used in the sense of "resting on the surface") is a characteristic of plant parts that have no stalk. Flowers or leaves are borne directly from the stem or peduncle, and thus lack a petiole or pedicel. The leaves of most monocotyledons lack petioles. The term sessility is also used in mycology to describe a fungal fruit body that is attached to or seated directly on the surface of the substrate, lacking a supporting stipe or pedicel. Other examples of sessile flowers include Achyranthus, Saffron, etc. Plant
Calyx of Held the calyx is not only characteristic, but pragmatic in terms of auditory chronological development. As a synapse, the calyx of Held follows a mechanism similar to other synapses. A thorough description can be found under neurotransmission. Calcium influx for the immature calyx of Held is mediated by N-, P/Q-, and R-type calcium channels; however upon maturation only P/Q-type calcium channels become dominant. Upon calcium influx, the immature calyx of Held is highly reactive due to its small calcium buffer ability – this causes the release of glutamate even at low levels of calcium influx. Within the terminal, as with other
