"Globigerina is a genus of planktonic Foraminifera..."

Hi, I've added the "research paper" template tag to the Description section because it is written in a very dense, technical style that might only be understood by researchers in that field of deep sea life. It's currently written as follows:

Globigerina has a globose, trochospirally enrolled test composed of spherical to ovate but not radially elongate chambers that enlarge rapidly as added, commonly with only three to five in the final whorl. The test (or shell) wall is calcareous, perforate, with cylindrical pores. During life the surface has numerous long slender spines that are broken on dead or fossil shells, the short blunt remnants resulting in a hispid surface. The aperture a high umbilical arch that may be bordered by an imperforate rim or narrow lip. No secondary apertures.

I'd really appreciate it if someone who understands this could perhaps expand and reword (or at least provide links to articles explaining terms in the intended context like "aperture", "globose", "trochospirally enrolled test" (what???), "perforate", "radially elongate", "hispid" and "umbilical arch").
