Squid (of any size) have beaks, which they use to bite off their food, which they then swallow.
FunnelWater is let out of one place, the mantleFinletsActs as rudder protecting squid on outside.PenStrong support beam in mantle to make it stiff.
CtenidiumFound on both sides of siphon, gills that retrieve oxygen from the water.ArmsRip-aparts prey and stuffs it into the mouthTentaclesSquid get close to prey, then shoot out the extra-long tentacles to capture it and pull it in.
BeakTakes (first) bite from prey.RadulaThe meat is ripped apart even more by the radula, a conveyor belt of tiny teeth that nearly all molluscs have.
EsophagusFood is swallowed and travels through the esophagus.
StomachStores digestive juices and is a small muscle.LiverBreak down digestive juices.PancreasBreak down digestive juices.CecumWhere the broken down mushy food is absorbed into the squid's hemolymph (blood) and spread through the body.
ok. well the function of the siphon is to get the water and propel the squid fin first through the ocean!
the squid swims by inflating its mantle cavity with water and forcing it out through the funnel in a jet- propulsion fashion.
In the middle of all its tenticles it has an increadibly sharp beak-like mouth that dices its food.
The foot of the squid is it's tentacles, it enables the squid to move very very very very very very very fast. The foot is also the mantle of the squid (the mantle is a thick layer of tissues {muscle} all mollusks use to protect their guts). In this case the squid uses it's mantle to run away from predators (swim away).
This a very simple answer. They use their tentacles to push themselves through the water. No this is actually wrong. The squid uses its siphon to propel itself through the water. How it does this is it fills its mantle with water then the squid pushes it out through the Siphon.
by spewing out a dark blackish or brownish ink to make it tough fro their predators to see them swim away.
a squid IS a carnivore
It filters the waste of the squid waste and it also separates the water and blood of the squid.
=How fast does a squid swim?==they can swim really fast=
swim swim
A giant squid can swim at speeds of 15 miles per hour or more.
Yes, squid swim head first. They have a water jet and if the water jet shoots out water, it'll propel the squid, head first, throughout the water.
it pushes its squid arm things up and doun like a jellyfish
both swim in the ocean
eat plankton and swim
Sweetie the Squid and octupus always swims head first @previous answer.. you're wrong. squid swim feet first. the 2 long tentacles and the 8 legs are actually near the head because the the arms and tentacles close around the mouth. so when they swim they open and close their arms & tentacles making them swim fin up. therefore, squid swim FOOT FIRST "sweetie"
it is slower than a squid but still fast
They are slower than a squid, but they are still fast.
Snails have a shell, live on land. Squid live in the water, have tentacles, swim really well.
to swim in circles like *blub blub blub*
