Radiate

Radiate is a term used in various fields of study, including biology, anatomy, and botany. In biology, it refers to organisms that exhibit radial symmetry, such as starfish or jellyfish. In anatomy, it refers to muscles that spread out from a central point. In botany, it refers to flowers that have a radial arrangement of parts.

Biology

In biology, radiate refers to organisms that exhibit radial symmetry. This means that the organism can be divided into similar halves by more than two planes passing through the center. Examples of radiate organisms include starfish and jellyfish. These organisms have body parts arranged around a central axis.

Anatomy

In anatomy, radiate refers to muscles that spread out from a central point. An example of this is the pectoralis major, a large muscle in the upper chest, fanning out from the sternum to the shoulder. The term can also refer to the arrangement of fibrous tissues, nerves, or blood vessels.

Botany

In botany, radiate refers to flowers that have a radial arrangement of parts. This means that the flower can be divided into similar halves along any vertical plane. Examples of radiate flowers include the daisy and sunflower.
