I have been thinking that the apparent opening at the chalaza end must have been withering or perhaps gnawing by some very minute insects, as the ovarium is open at the upper end.
When the ovule is so developed that the chalaza is at the hilum (next the placenta), and the micropyle is at the opposite extremity, there being a short funicle, the ovule is orthotropous.
Through the funiculus, the rhaphe, and the chalaza the ovule receives its nourishment from the placenta.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "chalaza" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
