Explore INSIDE an Oyster | Oyster Anatomy 🦪

Oyster Anatomy Video

After shucking or eating an oyster you may be surprised by what you find; including pearls, crabs and worms. There is definitely a whole world inside of these powerful, yet tasty filters.

In this video we explore some of the basic parts of an oyster:

- Adductor Muscle: the main muscular system in bivalve mollusks (e.g. in clams, scallops, mussels, oysters, etc.).

- Mantle: this fine fleshy layer of tissue surrounds the oyster's body and ensures the formation and development of the oyster shell.

- Gills: play a crucial role in respiration as well as feeding. Cilia present on the gills generate water currents to transport the food particles the oyster feeds on.

- Labial Palps: the organs that flank the mouth of the oyster.
