In cows the branches of the ureters which extend into the medulla are called calyces. Urine must travel through the calyces before making its way into the ureter.
Male turtles typically have a retractable penis, called a cloaca, that varies in length among different species. The penis can extend anywhere from a few millimeters to a few centimeters in length.
Inchworms
Protozoans that move using pseudopods belong to the group called amoeboids, which includes organisms like Amoeba and Entamoeba. These protozoans extend their cytoplasm to form temporary projections called pseudopodia, allowing them to crawl and capture food. Pseudopodia also play a crucial role in their locomotion and feeding strategies.
A devilfish, also known as a manta ray, typically has two arms or fins that extend from its body. These fins are used for maneuvering in the water and are not considered true arms.
The extensor digitorum lateralis is responsible for extending the lateral four digits (fingers) at the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. It helps in straightening and spreading the fingers.
calyces
The uppermost branches of a tree are commonly referred to as the "crown." The crown includes the leaves and branches that extend from the trunk, playing a crucial role in photosynthesis and providing shade. It varies in shape and size depending on the tree species and environmental conditions.
These nephrons are called juxtamedullary nephrons. They play a key role in establishing concentration gradients in the kidney that are necessary for water reabsorption and urine concentration.
The cortical nephrons,from their name are almost entirely embedded within the cortex of the kidney.They have shortish loops of Henle that do not really extend far into the medulla. By contrast, the juxtamedullary nephrons have longs loops of Henle that do extend far into the medulla.The glomeruli of the juxtamedullary nephrons are typically close to the medulla (which is how these got their name)
The primary organs of the urinary system are the kidneys and the urinary pathways. This includes both kidneys of course, the ureters and the urethra. The ureters extend from the kidneys and join at the urethra, the urethra then extends to an opening out of the body, in males this is at the end of the penis, in females in the vulva.

The side branches of the axon are called axon collaterals. They are smaller branches that extend from the main axon and allow for communication with multiple target cells simultaneously. Axon collaterals play a key role in neural communication and signal transmission.
The two branches of the windpipe, or trachea, are called the right and left main bronchus. These bronchi extend from the trachea into the lungs, allowing air to enter each lung respectively. The right bronchus is generally wider and more vertically oriented than the left bronchus, which affects the distribution of inhaled air.
The two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron are dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body, while axons transmit signals away from the cell body to other neurons or target cells.
Terrestrial arthropods have a series of openings called spiracles at the body surface. Spiracles open into tiny air tubes called tracheae, which expand into fine branches that extend into all parts of the arthropod body
The lines that extend the staff are called ledger lines.
Surgery can extend, but the surgical procedure that does it is not called circumcision.
