Calyx (anatomy) kidney, a conglomeration of two or three minor calyces to form a major calyx, or the Calyx of Held, a particularly large synapse in the mammalian auditory central nervous system, named by H. Held in his 1893 article "Die centrale Gehörleitung", due to its flower-petal-like shape. In male insects, a funnel-shaped expansion of the basal part of the "vas deferens" (part of the seminal duct). Also in entomology, a flattened cap of neuropile in an insect brain (a component of the corpus pedunculatum) and by certain female insects, an expansion of the oviduct into which the ovarioles open.

Offset (botany) pollination is used to create seeds. The recombination of genes gives rise to offspring plant with similar but distinct offspring genome. Offset (botany) In botany and horticulture, an offset is a small, virtually complete daughter plant that has been naturally and asexually produced on the mother plant. They are clones, meaning that they are genetically identical to the mother plant. They divide mitotically. In the plant nursery business and gardens, they are detached and grown on in order to produce new plants. This is a cheap and simple process for those plants that readily produce offsets as it does not
