plastron of a red-eared turtle
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The red-eared turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans) belongs to the family of freshwater turtles. The photo shows a turtle plastron - (from the French plastron - "breastplate") - the abdominal (lower) part of the exoskeleton of turtles, consisting of individual shields that grow separately from each other. Annual rings grow on each. The plastron connects to the carapace with a joint ligament or bone membrane. Due to the structure of the plastron's shields, a number of turtles are able to close completely in the shell, covering the front and rear holes.
Українська: Червоновуха черепаха (Trachemys scripta elegans) належить до родини прісноводних черепах. На фото зображено пластрон черепахи - (від фр. plastron — «нагрудник») — черевна (нижня) частина екзоскелета черепах, що складається із окремих щитків, які ростуть окремо один від одного. На кожному наростають річні кільця. Пластрон з'єднується з карапаксом суглобною зв'язкою або кістковою перетинкою. Завдяки будові щитків пластрону низка черепах здатна повністю зачинятися у панцирі, затуляючи передній та задній отвори.

Plastron - «нагрудник») - брюшная (нижняя) часть экзоскелета черепах, состоит из отдельных щитков, которые растут отдельно друг от друга. На каждом нарастают годовые кольца. Пластрон соединяется с карапаксом суставной связкой или костной перегородкой. Благодаря строению щитков Пластроны ряд черепах способна полностью закрываться в панцире, закрывая передний и задний отверстия.
