Botanical whorls: sepals, petals, leaves, or branches radiating from a single point (photo of flower of
Friesodielsia desmoides, family
Annonaceae, juxtaposed with diagram of axial cross-section) File:Anisus septegyrus1pl.jpg|
Mollusc whorls: Each complete 360° turn in the spiral growth of the shell of the mollusc
Anisus septemgyratus, family
Planorbidae. File:Baby hairy head DSCN2483.jpg|A
hair whorl is a patch of
hair growing in a circular direction around a visible center point. File:Fingerprint Whorl.jpg|In a

histopathologic architecture, a whorled pattern consists of multiple

Bone tissue is shown. For
mollusc whorls, the
body whorl in a mollusc shell is the most recently formed whorl of a spiral shell, terminating in the aperture. ==Artificial objects==
