What “hectocotylus” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediahectocotylus
- nounA modified arm of any of several male cephalopods that functions as a reproductive organ by transfering sperm to the mantle of the female.
A hectocotylus is one of the arms of male cephalopods that is specialized to store and transfer spermatophores to the female. Structurally, hectocotyli are muscular hydrostats. Depending on the species, the male may use it merely as a conduit to the female, analogously to a penis in other animals, or he may wrench it off and present it to the female.
