Definition
Relating to or resembling a helix or spiral; specifically describing spiral blood vessels or anatomical structures shaped like helices.
Etymology
Derived from 'helix' with the suffix '-ine,' used to form adjectives meaning 'of, relating to, or resembling.' Common in anatomical terminology.
Kelly Says
Helicine arteries in the penis and spleen are actual corkscrew-shaped blood vessels that expand and contract uniquely—their spiral shape allows them to regulate blood flow in ways straight vessels can't!
