When the adductor muscles of a clam are relaxed, the two shells of the clam open, allowing water to flow in and out of the shell. This opening facilitates essential processes such as feeding, respiration, and waste removal. The clam can filter plankton and other small particles from the water when the shells are open. Additionally, relaxation of the adductor muscles is typically a response to environmental conditions or the clam's need to feed.
