Anatomy
Anatomy is the branch of morphology concerned with the study of the internal structure of organisms and their parts.
Bivalve shell
A bivalve shell is part of the body, the exoskeleton or shell, of a bivalve mollusk. Resilium and bivalve shell are mollusc shells.
See Resilium and Bivalve shell
Bivalvia
Bivalvia, in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts.
Hinge teeth
Hinge teeth are part of the anatomical structure of the inner surface of a bivalve shell, i.e. the shell of a bivalve mollusk. Resilium and Hinge teeth are mollusc shells.
Ligament (bivalve)
A hinge ligament is a crucial part of the anatomical structure of a bivalve shell, i.e. the shell of a bivalve mollusk.
See Resilium and Ligament (bivalve)
Mollusca
Mollusca is the second-largest phylum of invertebrate animals, after Arthropoda; members are known as molluscs or mollusks.
Oyster
Oyster is the common name for a number of different families of salt-water bivalve molluscs that live in marine or brackish habitats.
Resilifer
A resilifer is a part of the shell of certain bivalve mollusks. Resilium and resilifer are bivalve stubs and mollusc shells.
Scallop
Scallop is a common name that encompasses various species of marine bivalve mollusks in the taxonomic family Pectinidae, the scallops.
Taxonomy (biology)
In biology, taxonomy is the scientific study of naming, defining (circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics.
