The veliger has a ciliated velum for swimming and also for trapping minute particles of food. |
The velum consists of two pairs of very long, thin papillae joined together at the base. |
The apical organ, which may have a sensory function, has developed and is located dorsal to the velum. |
The thin, dark, and highly vascular tela choroidea of the 4th ventricle is attached to the posterior margin of the inferior medullary velum and the peduncle of the flocculus. |
A membranous fringe joins the velum to the ventro-posterior podia laterally. |
When you make a 'k' sound, the back of your tongue touches the back of your mouth, called the velum. |
