Phragmocone, a term used in the study of cephalopods, refers to the internal shell that provides structural support to these marine animals. There are a number of synonyms for phragmocone, which are used in different contexts and by different researchers. Some of the most common synonyms include siphuncle, proostracum, protoconch, and septate. Each of these terms relates to a specific aspect of the phragmocone and can help researchers better understand the anatomy and biology of cephalopods. By using these synonyms in discussions and research papers, scientists and students can deepen their knowledge of cephalopod biology and contribute to our understanding of the ocean's ecosystems.
