Shaped like a spoon or having the form of a spiral shell.
From Latin cochlear (spoon) and -form (shaped like). This descriptive term combines anatomical features into a single adjective for precision in medical descriptions.
Anatomists love -form words because they can describe complex shapes in one word—a cochleariform structure might be a bone, muscle, or organ that twists in a specific spiral-spoon pattern.
