Meaning of "gastrovascular" in English

The term "gastrovascular" refers to a type of internal cavity within certain organisms, notably some invertebrates like cnidarians and flatworms. This cavity functions primarily for the digestion and distribution of nutrients throughout the organism's body. Essentially, the gastrovascular system combines the roles of both a digestive system and a circulatory system. By possessing such a structure, these organisms efficiently circulate digested nutrients along with gases, thus supporting their metabolic functions.

Meaning of "gastrovasculaire" in French

In French, "gastrovasculaire" describes an anatomical structure in some invertebrates that serves both digestive and circulatory functions. This unique system allows organisms, such as jellyfish and corals, to digest food and distribute nutrients and gases required for cellular processes. The dual-purpose nature of the gastrovasculaire cavity makes it a key feature for the survival of these simple organisms, performing essential functions typically separated in more complex life forms.
