Biology
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It is called pen and it is located at the dorsal side

Explanation:

Squid belongs to the class Cephalopoda, subclass Coleoidea which is characterized by internal shell (unlike subclass Nautiloidea in which shell is located externally).

The shell of the squid (the pen) in very reduced and small, formed from chitin and located at the dorsal side. The pen provides attachment for muscles and it gives the squid stiffness.

Most likely, this internal shell evolved from the  external shell, because it is believed the ancestral of the organisms from the Coleoidea was probably nautiloid-like.

What are Smooth muscles?

Because it lacks sarcomeres and as a result, striations, smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle (bands or stripes). Its two subgroups are single-unit smooth muscle and multi-unit smooth muscle. A syncytium is the collective contraction of the sheet or bundle of smooth muscle cells that make up a single-unit muscle.

Smooth muscle makes up the walls of hollow organs including the stomach, intestines, bladder, and uterus as well as the blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as the tracts of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. The ciliary muscle, a type of smooth muscle present in the eyes, changes the shape of the lens by dilation and contraction of the iris.
