About this document

Mantle Edge Morphology in Protobranchia by Said Said is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study investigates the morphology and function of the mantle edge in ten species of protobranch bivalves using optical and transmission electron microscopy. Key findings include the presence of a second outer fold in crenulated species, unique glandular cells in non-crenulated species, and the secretion of glycocalyx across the mantle folds, which may support the monophyly of protobranchs. The research contributes to understanding the ultrastructure and functional biology of this less-studied subclass
