Record 1 2015-04-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Paleontology
DEF

[It is a] membranous sac beneath the frontal wall of many cheilostome [bryozoans] for regulating hydrostatic pressure within the zooecium and thus providing for movement of the polypide outward and inward...

Domaine(s)
  • Paléontologie
DEF

[Il s'agit d'un] petit sac membraneux placé dans la cellule. Il se remplit d'eau lorsque le lophophore sort de la zoécie [du Bryozoaire]. Il s'ouvre à l'extérieur par l'ascopore [...]

Record 2 2011-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mollusks, Echinoderms and Prochordates
  • Marine Biology
  • Paleontology
DEF

[In the literature of bryozoans, ] the opening through which the living animal could extend from its zooecium.

CONT

To feed, the lophophore and upper end of the polypide are pushed out of the zooecium through an opening called the aperture, which is on the zooecium's upper surface near its head end.

CONT

The aperture is an opening in certain kinds of mollusc shells: it is the main opening of the shell, where part of the body of the animal emerges for locomotion, feeding, etc.
