different between adoral vs spirotrich

English

From ad- +? oral

adoral (not comparable)

Located near the mouth.
- 1977, Earl D. Hanson, The origin and early evolution of animals, Wesleyan.
  The feeding cavity should remain designated as a prostomial cavity, rather than the adoral, or buccal, cavity.
- 1969, Zoologische Mededeelingen.
  I now prefer to consider it a specialized adoral seta, presupposed that the rutellum is also a specialized adoral seta. This means that paralabial and adoral are synonymous.

spirotrich (plural spirotrichs)

Any of a large and distinctive group of ciliate protozoa, of the class Spirotrichea, typically with prominent oral cilia in the form of a series of polykinetids, called the adoral zone of membranelles, beginning anterior to the oral cavity and running down to the left side of the mouth.
