Subject field(s)

CONT

There are 2 circumoral and 1 pre-oral kineties, and a continuation of the last forms the strongly ciliated seam towards which the kineties of the left and right converge.

OBS

circumoral: surrounding the mouth.

OBS

Although the term "cystostome" exists in English (see WEBIN 1976, p. 568), authors seem to prefer to use "circumoral" rather than "circumcytostomal"; the latter was not found in any of the documents studied.
