Latin = funnel.

The upper portion of hair follicle, extending from the entrance of the sebaceous duct to the skin surface. Any of various funnel-shaped bodily passages.

A tapering, funnel-shaped structure; in the brain, the connection between the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus; in the uterine tube, the entrance bounded by fimbriae that receives the oocytes at ovulation.

the stalk-like structure that attaches the pituitary gland (hypophysis) to the hypothalamus of the brain; the funnel-shaped, open, distal end of the uterine (Fallopian) tube

(ihn'-fuhn-DIHB-yoo-luhm) The narrow connection between the hypothalamus of the brain and the pituitary gland. Also, the funnel-shaped distal end of the uterine tube that opens near an ovary.

Smooth-walled outlet of the right ventricle forming the conal segment.

any of various funnel-shaped parts of the body (but especially the hypophyseal stalk)

A depression in the floor of the third ventricle which leads into the hypophysis. It does not remain open after a very early period of embryonic development.

(L. funnel): Funnel-shaped evagination of the floor of the third ventricle from which the pituitary stalk arises.

A stalk extending from the base of the brain to the pituitary gland.

funnel-shaped initial segment of uterine tube (oviduct or Fallopian tube) opening into peritoneal cavity and connected to the ampulla. The peritoneal opening sitting over the ovary.

a funnel-shaped passage

The funnel end of the oviduct that picks up the yolk when it is released from the ovary; the area in which fertilization of the true egg takes place; also called funnel.

The upper, funnel end of the oviduct that picks up the yolk after its release from the ovary.

a stalk or funnel-shaped structure; the portion of the gallbladder near the cystic duct junction

The floor of the diencephalon becomes the infundibulum. The infundibulum becomes the neurohypophysis or the posterior pituitary. The mouth, with Rathke's pocket extending toward the infundibulum, is a triangular cavity which soon enlarges.

The infundibulum describes the portion of the hair shaft that extends from the sebaceous gland up toward the opening of the skin. It is lined by epithelium and can be the source for skin regeneration in cases in which the skin is partially lost like in laser skin resurfacing. The infundibulum and the isthmus immediately below it (See Isthmus) constitute the upper portion of the hair shaft which is considered the permanent part of the hair shaft that does not change during the hair cycle.
