Definition of statocyst in English:

statocyst

nounˈstatəʊsɪstˈstadəˌsist

Zoology

A small organ of balance and orientation in some aquatic invertebrates, consisting of a sensory vesicle or cell containing statoliths.
Also called otocyst
Example sentencesExamples
- These statocysts are filled with fluid and lined with sensory cells.
- Acanthaster planci are insensitive to touch and gravity, as they lack statocysts.
- There are tiny sense organs called statocysts with which food can be detected, but otherwise no trace of eyes or other features normally associted with a head.
- Turbellarians sense their environment with statocysts, chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors.
- In addition, the association of statocysts with mechanoreceptors further suggests that these ancient sense organs are distantly related to the vertebrate ear, linking sight and sound.
