Funicle is the stalk of an ovule by which it is attached to the placenta. Raphe is an elongated mass of tissue, containing vascular bundle, and lying on the side of an anatropous ovule, between the chalaza and the attachment to the placenta. Helium is the scar on the testa where it was attached to the funicle. Chalaza is the opposite side of the side bearing micropyle of an ovule.
