Study Notes
External Anatomy of Squid (Loligo)
- The collar is an organ located at the base of the siphon, playing a role in directing water flow for movement.
- The fin is a triangular structure at the top of the squid, aiding in stabilization and maneuverability in the water.
- The mantle is the external covering of the squid, providing protection and playing a role in respiration and locomotion.
- The eye is a highly developed sensory organ, crucial for vision and navigation in the aquatic environment.
- Arms are long appendages used for grasping prey and manipulation of objects, featuring suckers for better grip.
- Tentacles are elongated organs, typically longer than arms, used for capturing prey, equipped with suckers or hooks.
- The siphon is located under the collar, serving as an excurrent jet for propulsion and water expulsion.
- The beak is a hard, hook-like structure used for grasping and slicing prey; analogous to bird beaks in function.
- Pallial cartilages are important structures located beneath the collar, supporting the mantle and playing a role in the locomotion of the squid.
