Fig. 5. Mantle cavity of male specimen. The mantle cavity has been exposed by a median longitudinal cut through the mantle wall. The median mantle artery and vein (M.A.V.), which travel along the edge of the septum dividing the posterior part of the mantle cavitv into two, have been severed. The renal appendages and branchial hearts are showing through the semi-transparent wall of the visceral dome. The tentacles are withdrawn within the tentacle pockets and so are not visible. |
