ampulla

Sharks, rays and their relatives can detect tiny electric fields, thanks to bulbous organs concentrated near their heads called ampullae of Lorenzini.

Straightway there descends a dove white as snow, bearing in its beak an ampulla full of chrism sent from heaven.

The holy ampulla containing it is kept in the church of Saint Remi at Reims.

And by God's grace on the day of the King's anointing this ampulla is always found full.

If an ampulla be inflated and then pressed, the corresponding tube-foot will be seen to extend.

The chief sign of the Canterbury pilgrimage was an ampul or ampulla or flask of lead or pewter.
