Study Notes
Squid Biology
- The primary mode of movement for squids is jet propulsion, where they forcefully expel water from their mantle to create thrust.
Defense Mechanisms
- A squid's ink cloud serves as a decoy to distract predators, allowing the squid to escape, as the ink cloud resembles the squid's body shape and odor.
Digestive System
- The esophagus is a muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
- Food must be in small pieces before being swallowed because the esophagus is narrow and can only accommodate small amounts of food at a time.
