- In botany, a peduncle (botany) is a stalk supporting an inflorescence.
- In anatomy, a cerebral peduncle is a band of neurons, resembling a stalk, which connect varied parts of the brain.
- In insect brains, the peduncle connects the lobes of the mushroom bodies to its calyx.
- In zoology, a peduncle (zoology) is a stem, through which a mass of tissue is attached to a body.
- In fish anatomy, the caudal peduncle is the narrow part of the body to which the tail attaches.
- In arthropod morphology, a peduncle (arthropods) is the base segments of an antenna.
In botany, a peduncle is a stalk supporting an inflorescence, or after fecundation a fruit.
The peduncle has the structure of a stem. It is usually green, and without leaves. It can however sometimes support small leaves, or be colored.

The cerebral peduncle, by most classifications, is everything in the mesencephalon except the tectum. The region includes the midbrain tegmentum, crus cerebri, substantia nigra and pretectum. The peduncles are also known as the crus cerebri.

In animals, the brain or encephalon (Greek for "in the skull"), is the control center of the central nervous system, responsible for behavior. The brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the primary sensory apparatus of vision, hearing,

The mushroom bodies or corpora pedunculata are a pair of structures in the brain of insects and other arthropods. They are usually described as neuropils, i.e. as dense networks of neurons and glia.

Antennae (singular antenna) are paired appendages connected to the front-most segments of arthropods. In crustaceans, they are biramous and present on the first two segments of the head, with the smaller pair known as antennules.
