| Reference Reference information: Rachis (pronounced /ˈreɪkɪs/[verification needed]) is a biological term for a main axis or "shaft". Vertical fern rachis lined with horizontal leaflets[edit] In zoology In animal anatomy, a rachis is the series of articulated vertebrae, which encase the spinal cord. The rachis may form the supporting axis of the body, and is then called the spine or vertebral column. In ornithology, rachis refers to the central shaft of pennaceous feathers. |
