A tentacle is an actual appendage that aids in movement and or grabbing. The reason I have classified my own as tendrils is because of how they branch off my spine at the base of my skull, and they draw upon a different pattern of neurons. That and the word tentacle....Has a reputation that would make it hard for me to do my experiments on the opposing gender....Particularly with the Asian demographic."
