Ciliata. ... The functional units of the locomotor apparatus are linear groups of cilia typically oriented in meridional rows. The individual cilia are anchored in sub-pellicular basal granules (kinetosomes), each row of which in turn is interconnected, or at least accompanied, by a fibril (kinetodesma). Each of these functional units is called a kinety; the aggregate of granules and fibrils comprises the infraciliature. 4, record 1, English, - kinety

Tous les cils sont issus des cinétosomes ou granules basaux [...]. Les cinétosomes ne sont pas isolés, mais réunis les uns aux autres, par le cinétodesme, ensemble fibrillaire à orientation antéro-postérieure. L'ensemble constitue l'infraciliature. Dans de nombreux cas, les ciliaire porte le nom de cinétie [...] Les cils sont généralement implantés en rangées parallèles ou cinéties. Il y a coordination du battement d'une cinétie par rapport aux cinéties voisines. 2, record 1, French, - cin%C3%A9tie

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. 3, record 2, English, - circumoral%20kinety
