Definition of trochophore in English:

trochophore

nounˈtrəʊkə(ʊ)fɔːˈtrɒkə(ʊ)fɔːˈträkəˌfôr

Zoology

The planktonic larva of certain invertebrates, including some molluscs and polychaete worms, having a roughly spherical body, a band of cilia, and a spinning motion.
〔动〕担轮幼虫
Example sentencesExamples
- Polychaetes usually have separate sexes; many polychaetes hatch into a particular type of planktonic larva, the trochophore, which later metamorphoses into a juvenile annelid.
- The larva is a typical trochophore with apical organ, prototroch and metatroch of compound cilia, adoral ciliary zone and gastrotroch of separate cilia, and a pair of protonephridia; only the telotroch is missing.
- Another phylum, the Pogonophora, are also vermiform animals with a trochophore larva.
- The female releases her eggs one at a time, and one hatching the young animal will go through both a free-swimming trochophore and veliger stage, like all molluscs, before settling into an adult form in the muddy seafloor.
- One widely-mooted suggestion is that planktotrophic larvae, typified by the annelidan trochophore and echinoid pluteus, existed long before the metazoan radiations evident in the Cambrian fossil record.

Origin

Late 19th century: from Greek trokhos 'wheel' + -phore.
