1. Siphon - small tube on the ventral side of a squid/octopus
that can be directed in any direction for jet propulsion
locomotion.
2. Eye - sensory equipment on the head of the squid which
rivals the complexity of mammalian eyes.
3. Mantle - soft skin covered organ of the squid that covers the
body in place of the normal molluskan shell.
4. Tentacle - soft unsegmented appendage of a squid used for
grasping prey or reproduction.
5. Sucker - small suction device on the surface of a tentacle
used for holding prey or mates.
6. Pen - small and stiff support structure within the mantle used
for mantle support.
7. Nidamental gland - secretes the gelatinous matrix that
surrounds the squid eggs.
8. Ovary - produces eggs.
9. Buccal area - the mouth area of the squid, including the oral
cavity and radula.
10. Radula - the scraping organ of feeding in mollusks,
structured as a bird's beak in squid and octopi.
11. Esophagus - tube that passes food from the mouth to the
stomach.
12. Stomach - digests food polymers into smaller polymers and
monomers.
13. Caecum - receives food from the stomach and absorbs it to
the bloodstream.
14. Intestine - receives food from the caecum and continues to
absorb nutrients to the blood.
15. Rectum - receives food from the intestine to pass it to the
anus and out of the body.
16. Liver - produces digestive fluids for the digestion of food.
17. Systemic heart - receives blood from the gill hearts and
pumps it to the body of the squid.
18. Gill (brachial) heart - pumps blood to the gills of the squid.
19. Nephridium - the excretory organ of the squid, filtering the
blood of waste products.
20. Gill - respiratory organ of the squid, exchanging oxygen and
carbon dioxide between the blood and sea water.
21. Ink sac - organ that stores a black substance that serves to
deceive potential predators and allow escape

Which phyla developed an external shell to protect its internal organs?
Molluscaanswer 2 Well, we do not know that the Molluscal developed the shell to protect its internal organs, we only know that by developing an external shell, that did protect its internal organs.But the shell gave it more than that. The animal now had a frame onto which it could anchor its organs, and thus use superior locomotion or feeding. And in our human case, a skeleton that enables and protects all sorts of things.The shell was not an essential for protection; for ordinary garden snails, and squids and octopuses [[one puss, 2 puses in English] have all let their shell degenerate to a minor internal feature.
