infundibular
Shaped like funnel
Infundibular means funnel-shaped.
The term appears in anatomy to describe structures that taper like a funnel: the infundibular stalk connects the pituitary gland to the brain, and the heart's infundibular region channels blood from ventricle to artery.
Outside medicine, the word is rare but available for any funnel-like form: The infundibular cavity narrowed to a single opening.
