WHAT DOES STERNITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sternite

Sternum (arthropod anatomy)

The sternum is the ventral portion of a segment of an arthropod thorax or abdomen. In insects, the sterna are usually single, large sclerites, and external. However, they can sometimes be divided in two or more, in which case the subunits are called sternites, and may also be modified on the terminal abdominal segments so as to form part of the functional genitalia, in which case they are frequently reduced in size and development, and may become internalized and/or membranous. Ventrites are externally visible sternites. Usually the first sternite is covered up, so that vertrite numbers do not correspond to sternid numbers. The term is also used in other arthropod groups such as crustaceans, arachnids and myriapods. Sternites on the pleon of a crustacean may be referred to as pleonsternites. These are the sites of attachment of the pleopods. In spiders, the sternum is the ventral part of the cephalothorax.

Definition of sternite in the English dictionary

The definition of sternite in the dictionary is the sternum or ventral part of each segment of an insect body.
