〔动〕（龟、鳖的）腹甲
Example sentencesExamples
- No tortoise had sufficient wear to the carapace or plastron to obscure annuli.
- Counter-shading of the shell conceals the turtle from predators, making it difficult to distinguish the dark carapace from the sea floor and the light plastron from the lighter sky.
- The plastrons of all hatchlings were photocopied for future identification and hatchling body masses and straight-line carapace lengths were recorded.
- In addition, the carapace and plastron of each turtle were photographed.
- This pattern, like the pattern of the dermal bones and the pattern of the scutes and bones of the plastron (ventral shell) is remarkably consistent across all turtles, particularly extant forms.
1. 3.1 A ventral plate similar to a plastron in some invertebrate animals.
  （无脊椎动物的）腹板
  Example sentencesExamples
  For example, the plastron is a feature involved in important evolutionary changes during the early spatangoid history and underlies a distinct pattern of disparity.
  Also, most specimens are molts, based on thickness of the carapace and posterior displacement of the sternal plastron.
  To date, more than 20 specimens of D. australis have been collected at this locality, all within galleries and with dislocated plastrons.
2. 3.2Entomology (in an aquatic insect) a patch of cuticle covered with hairs which retain a thin layer of air that acts like a gill for breathing under water.

  Example sentencesExamples
  Its underside is covered with a dense layer of very fine, silky hairs that trap air contained in the cocoon to form a thin, silvery cushion, called a plastron.
  Insects living here can usually rely on gills, plastrons, or cuticular respiration to meet their metabolic demand for oxygen.
  This bubble is then ‘caught’ by the antennae, causing the air it contains to spread through the plastron to reach the spiracles, or breathing holes, on the beetle's abdomen.

Derivatives

plastral

adjective

The plastral bridge is considerably longer at its base (= axilloinguinal distance) than the posterior plastral lobe, but the anterior lobe is the shortest plastral element.
Example sentencesExamples
- Turtles in the treatment group exhibited substantial loss in bone density in skulls, vertebrae, carpals, plastral and hypoplastral elements, and limb midshaft cortices.
- The plastral index is high in Dexmalochelys, Corsochelys, and Mesodermochdys and in Cenozoic dermochelyids, but these also have very large lateral and medial fontanelles as well as overall reduction of all bones in the plastron.
- These articulation surfaces show that the entoplastron was relatively small; however, the suture between epiplastra indicates that the medial gap between right and left plastral elements was large.
- The problematic cheloniid Allopleuron has strongly divergent scapular processes, a high plastral bridge index, reduced shell ossification, and loss of scute sulci in common with dermochelyoids.

Origin

Early 16th century: from French, from Italian piastrone, augmentative of piastra 'breastplate', from Latin emplastrum 'a plaster' (see plaster).
