Explanation

Pedicles are small stalk-like structures that connect various parts of the body. They are most commonly referred to in the context of the spine, where they connect the front and back parts of the vertebrae, the small bones that make up the spine. They also exist in other parts of the body, such as the skin, where they can connect a skin graft to its blood supply. In general, pedicles serve as bridges, allowing different parts of the body to communicate and function together.
