| has gloss | (noun) a hard protective sheath (as secreted by certain protoctists, for example) lorica |
| has gloss | eng: Lorica, in biology, is a shell-like protective outer covering, often reinforced with sand grains and other particles that some protozoans secrete. Usually it is tubular or conical in shape, with with a loose case that is closed at one end. An example is the genus of protozoa, the Stentor, in which the lorica is trumpet-shaped. In the Tintinnid, the lorica is frequently transparent and is used as a house. Halofolliculina corallasia has a lorica that is attached as an outer structure, and into which it retracts when disturbed. |
