Its a gill, if put in simple terms, used for gaseous exchange into and out of blood primarily, other than this function it also excretes waste materials like excess monovalent ions, ammonia.
Land snails have ctenidia, or gill-like structures, adapted for gas exchange in a moist environment. While they primarily breathe air, these structures can help in oxygen absorption and may aid in maintaining moisture levels within their respiratory system. Ctenidia can also assist in removing carbon dioxide efficiently, enhancing their respiratory efficiency in terrestrial habitats.
The ctenidia, also known as gills, are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in aquatic animals like mollusks. They play a crucial role in respiration by facilitating the uptake of oxygen from the water and the release of carbon dioxide.
The Humboldt squid and the Giant Squid are two separate species
The squid is called a firefly squid.
no. calamari is actually squid, and squid is not a type of octopus.
The squid's ink amount depends on the size of the squid. The ink is used to confuse and paralyze the squid's attacker so that the squid can escape.
