Meaning of "nematoblast" in English

A nematoblast is a cell type found in certain invertebrates, particularly within the phylum Cnidaria, which includes jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones. These specialized cells are responsible for producing nematocysts — the stinging structures used by these organisms for defense and capturing prey. Nematoblasts undergo a transformation process where they mature into nematocysts, complete with a coiled, thread-like tube, which can deliver toxins to immobilize potential threats or prey.

Meaning of "nematoblast" in French

In French, "nematoblast" refers similarly to a type of cell in certain invertebrates, particularly within the Cnidaria phylum, such as jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones. These cells are critical for the development of nematocysts, which are defensive and prey-capturing structures. Nematoblasts mature into nematocysts, featuring a coiled, thread-like tube that delivers toxins, effectively immobilizing threats or prey for the organism's survival.
