They have complete digestive system.
Quite likely, otherwise, how would they digest their food?
The nervous system of clams often does not include the circulation system. The nervous system does not include the shell or the digestive system either.
If it's before cooking, add some cornmeal so the clams can clean out their digestive track (less poo). If it's after cooking, no. don't do that.
Well, clams filter feed, so I don't think they actually have digestive systems at all. I would imagine, with all the stuff floating in seawater, that they simply absorb nutrients out of the brine they filter through themselves.
Clams feed on tiny particles of whatever matter is suspended in the water. They draw the water in through their siphons and strain any particles through a pair of gills. Waste matter is ejected after passing through their digestive systems.
The visceral mass in clams serves as the central region containing most of the internal organs, including the digestive, reproductive, and excretory systems. It is crucial for the clam's survival, as it facilitates nutrient processing, waste removal, and reproduction. This mass is protected by the shell and is part of the overall body plan that allows clams to function effectively in their aquatic environments.
No, not an adult coral. Coral eggs and larve, yes....but clams have no means of being predators on corals and their digestive systems cannot deal with such input.
The heart of a clam is located in the pericardial cavity, which is situated near the center of its body, surrounded by the mantle and other organs. Alongside the heart, clams have gills for respiration, a foot for movement, and various digestive organs, including the stomach and intestines. The arrangement of these organs allows clams to efficiently process food and manage their basic physiological functions.
