The umbo which is located at the anterior end of the clam
The umbo, also known as the beak, is the oldest part of a clam shell. It is the point where growth starts and forms the center of the shell. Over time, new layers of shell material are added, extending outwards from the umbo.
The adductor muscles control the opening and closing of the clam valves. When these muscles contract, the valves close, and when they relax, the valves open. Clams use this mechanism to protect themselves from predators and regulate their internal environment.

Bivalve mollusks like clams hold their shells closed with their muscular bodies. They also have leathery "hinges" at the rounded part of the shell which help to hold the two halves together. These are similar to ligaments in higher animals. If you ever get a clam in the supermarket that is already open, that one is dead and you should not eat it.
The umbo which is located at the anterior end of the clam
The shell of a clam consists of two valves hinged together along the dorsal side (front). On the opposite end of where the clam opens is a swollen region (the umbo) where the shell of the clam starts to grow.
The oldest part of the clam shell is called the umbo. It is the portion closest to the hinge and is found by following the growth rings to their center.

somebodies doing there science homework! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't be lame, it is a umbo and it is near the mouth.
Yes, they are located within their shell.
The mantle in a clam is a thin layer of tissue that surrounds the body and lines the inside of the shell. It is located between the body and the shell of the clam and plays a role in secreting the calcium carbonate that forms the shell.
Shield Boss Umbo - the boss that is located in the CENTER of the Shield - designed to deflect blows from the center of round shields,and also provide a place to mount the shield's grip.Nombril- the point on a shield just BELOW the true center, the navel point
