Читать книгу Marine Mussels - Elizabeth Gosling - Страница 19

In this chapter, the approach is to use much studied representative species of marine mussels to describe the general morphology and functions of the shell, mantle, foot, gill, alimentary canal, gonad, heart, kidney and nervous tissue. Additional information on their particular roles in feeding, reproduction, circulation, excretion, osmoregulation and contaminant accumulation is presented in Chapters 4, 5, 7 and 8.
