The two valves of a clam are connected by a flexible hinge ligament, which allows the shells to open and close. This hinge is located at the dorsal (top) side of the clam and is crucial for the clam's ability to protect itself and manage its internal functions. Additionally, the adductor muscles, which can contract to close the valves tightly, provide further control over the opening and closing mechanism.
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.
