📚noun/adjective

prosobranch

🗣️

DEFINITION

A member of a major subclass of gastropod mollusks ( Prosobranchia ), characterized by having the gills and mantle cavity opening to the front of the heart, usually possessing an operculum (a little lid), and typically having separate sexes.

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Many common marine snails, such as periwinkles and whelks, are classified as prosobranch mollusks. The prosobranchs exhibit a great diversity of shell shapes and sizes across various aquatic habitats. One key feature distinguishing a prosobranch is the position of its ctenidium, or gill, anterior to the heart. The researcher studied the development of the nervous system in several different prosobranch species. Unlike land slugs, most prosobranchs are aquatic and use an operculum to seal their shells.
