pectinate
Having narrow teeth
Pectinate means having narrow parallel projections like the teeth of a comb.
The term appears mainly in biology and anatomy, describing structures with this comb-like arrangement: pectinate muscles in the heart, pectinate antennae on certain insects.
The related pectination refers to the comb-toothed structure itself.
