The 34 pages that link to Mantle (mollusk), each with the reason it gives.

• MolluscaRelated: Its shell-secreting role links the familiar shell to the animal’s underlying anatomy.

• CephalopodRelated: Its muscular cavity drives water through the funnel for jet propulsion.

• GastropodaRelated: In shelled gastropods, mantle tissue secretes and maintains the shell.

• OctopusRelated: The octopus mantle houses organs and pumps water through the cavity for breathing and jetting.

• GastropodRelated: In shelled gastropods, the mantle produces and repairs the shell.

• MolluskRelated: The mantle forms shells in many mollusks and creates the cavity that houses the gills.

• BivalveRelated: Its two lobes produce the paired shells.

• Bivalve shellRelated: The mantle’s edge secretes and shapes the growing margins of both valves.

• NautilusRelated: The mantle builds the shell and connects the animal's body to its chambered home.

• PulmonataRelated: Pulmonates breathe with a lung-like cavity formed from this tissue.

• ShellfishRelated: The mantle forms the shells of many molluscan shellfish.

• SlugRelated: In many slugs, the mantle remains even when the shell is reduced or internal.

• BrachiopodRelated: Brachiopod mantle lobes also secrete shell, though brachiopods are not molluscs.

• MusselRelated: The mantle produces the valves that enclose a mussel.

• Cornu aspersumRelated: Its mantle produces the shell and forms the air-breathing cavity.

• LimpetRelated: The limpet's mantle produces its shell and helps form the space beneath it.

• AplacophoraRelated: Aplacophorans retain mantle tissue even though it produces spicules rather than a shell.

• SnailRelated: The mantle produces and repairs the shell of many snails.

• CuttlefishRelated: The cuttlefish mantle encloses its organs and powers jet propulsion by expelling water.

• Sea snailRelated: The mantle produces the shell that protects many sea snails.

• Land snailRelated: Its vascularized cavity functions as a lung in many land snails.

• Mollusc shellRelated: Mantle cells lay down the organic matrix and minerals that build the shell.

• AplysiidaRelated: In sea hares, mantle tissue can conceal a small internal shell or remain shell-less.

• PinnidaeRelated: Mantle tissue produces the valves that protect a pen shell’s soft body.

• Spanish dancerRelated: The Spanish dancer’s expanded mantle forms the broad surfaces used in swimming.

• SpirulaRelated: Spirula’s mantle encloses its internal shell and powers movement by jet propulsion.

• Tusk shellRelated: The mantle forms the tubular shell and lines the scaphopod's body cavity.

• UnionidaRelated: The mantle forms the shells characteristic of unionid bivalves.

• VeneridaeRelated: It forms the shell and encloses the water-filled cavity used for respiration.
