Soft-bodied marine animals that have two shells, called valves, that they can open and close

In New York City, they're repopulating the harbor with farmed oysters to build reefs with the bivalves that stop the kind of erosion that made Hurricane Sandy so destructive while filtering toxins out of the water.

An active predatory mollusk of the large class Cephalopoda, such as an octopus or squid.

“No cephalopods were chewed in the making of this film"

# data[].attributes.body
Any of a large class of mollusks (as snails) that have a muscular foot at the bottom and usually both a distinct head bearing sense organs and a spiral shell into which the body can be withdrawn.

The introverted rostrum of the Pectinibranch Gastropods presents in contrast to these a limited range of movement.

# data[].attributes.body
The soft, non-muscular metabolic region of the mollusc that contains the body organs.

The rest of the body consists of the foot ventrally and the visceral mass dorsally.

# data[].attributes.body
Soft covering, formed from the body wall, of brachiopods and mollusks

The mantle of mollusks and brachiopods secretes the shell in species that possess shells.

# data[].attributes.body
The cavity between the mantle and the body proper of a mollusk or brachiopod in which the respiratory organs lie.

Water enters the mantle cavity on the outside of the gills, and the entrance of the mantle cavity closes.

# data[].attributes.body
A tough band bearing teeth that occurs in some mollusks (as snails and slugs) and is used to scrape or tear off food and bring it into the mouth.

The radular teeth are of several different kinds in each transverse row.

# data[].attributes.body
Dense group of nerve-cell bodies present in most animals above the level of cnidarians

In some vertebrates, for example the chicken, the ganglion cell axons are myelinated inside the retina.

# data[].attributes.body
A process by which the mantle, mantle cavity and visceral mass are rotated 180° in a counterclockwise direction.

The pallial cavity, with its organs, is by this torsion moved up the right side of the larva to the dorsal surface, and thus the left organs become right and vice versa.

# data[].attributes.body
A complex circulatory fluid found in the open circulatory systems of invertebrates that serves similar roles to lymph fluid and blood in vertebrate species.

Green hemolymph oozed out, working its way slowly down the side rail of the dilapidated ladder, its pungent odor thick in the air.

# data[].attributes.body
A body cavity (as in arthropods or some mollusks) that contains blood or hemolymph and functions as part of the circulatory system.

During the struggle the fly ruptured her alimentary tract, which allowed some of the flagellates in the gut to leak into the hemocoel.

# data[].attributes.body
An opening that brings the oxygen and food containing water into the mussels body

Its food consists of microscopic organisms which are taken in through the incurrent siphon.

# data[].attributes.body
An opening that expels the water cleaned of food and oxygen away from the mussels body.

Wastes exit through the excurrent siphon.

# data[].attributes.body
Type of respiratory organ found in many aquatic animals, including a number of worms, nearly all mollusks and crustaceans, some insect larvae, all fishes, and a few amphibians.

He looked exceptionally green around the gills when an unsympathetic cameraman pulled up beside him earlier this afternoon

# data[].attributes.body
Either of a pair of sensory appendages that arise from the mouthparts of crustaceans and insects

These small palps were probably retractile, and capable of being withdrawn entirely under the hood.

# data[].attributes.body
A muscle that draws a body part (as an arm or finger) toward or past a plane or a line that divides the body or a hand or foot into right and left halves.

The result is very tense adductor muscles.

# data[].attributes.body
A cell in an animal's surface that contains pigment and that has contractile fibers that can expand the cell, thus increasing that pigment across the surface.

The pyrenoid is evidently concerned in the formation of the chromatophore, or in its division

# data[].attributes.body
Permanently attached; not freely moving

"It continues to grow with a dome shape, but it can be sessile or pedunculated."
