bell
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T U V W Z

[Cnidaria] The part of a hydromedusa which, in shape, resembles a bell, excluding the manubrium and associated structures; there is no hard distinction from umbrella (n.; adj. = umbrellar) which is generally applied to the somewhat flatter 'bells' though the two terms can be, and are, interchanged. Disc is also used, perhaps more in scyphomedusae than in hydromedusae.

Alternative form for bell : umbrella.
