Auricles
The small pouchlike extensions of the atria are called the atrial appendages or auricles. These structures help increase the overall volume of the atria, allowing for greater blood storage and more efficient cardiac function.
Yes, money plants, particularly the Pothos species, have clasping roots. These aerial roots enable the plant to cling to surfaces as it grows, allowing it to climb and access more light. These roots can also absorb moisture and nutrients from the air and surrounding environment.
The leaf base of maize is clasping. It wraps around the stem, forming a sheath-like attachment.
A dandelion is considered a weed by many people due to its invasive nature and ability to quickly spread. However, it also produces yellow flowers that some may find attractive, blurring the line between weed and flower.

The heart.
Large auricles refer to the external part of the ear, also known as the pinna, which is notably bigger than average. In anatomy, the term can also pertain to the atria of the heart, specifically the auricles that are the upper chambers receiving blood. Larger auricles in either context can affect function, such as sound collection in the case of the ear or blood flow and heart efficiency in the case of the heart. In some species, large auricles serve specific evolutionary purposes, such as enhanced hearing or thermoregulation.
The function of auricles in the human body is to increase the capacity of the atria to hold blood, allowing for more efficient filling of the ventricles.
The auricles in the heart help to collect blood and assist in filling the heart chambers before they contract to pump blood throughout the body.
