The two shells are typically held together by a hinge that connects their edges, allowing them to open and close. In the case of bivalve mollusks, like clams and oysters, the adductor muscles enable the shells to clamp tightly shut for protection. Additionally, the soft tissue inside the shells, known as the visceral mass, helps maintain their structure and provides support.
