Squid Anatomy and Functions
- Chromatophores are specialized cells on a squid's body that contain pigments, allowing the squid to change its skin color and texture to blend in with its surroundings for camouflage, communication, and mating.
- The siphon is a muscular, tube-like structure used for propulsion, allowing the squid to quickly move through the water by expelling water from its mantle cavity.
- The beak, a hard, parrot-like mouthpart, is used for capturing and tearing prey, as well as for defense purposes.
