Exploring the anatomy of brachiopods: A glimpse into their complex shell interior structures

when brachiopods open what do you see?

lophophore

When brachiopods open their shells, you would see two halves of the shell, each called a valve. These valves would be held together by a hinge and muscles called adductors. Inside the shell, you might see certain structures such as the lophophore, which is a crown-like cluster of tentacles that the brachiopod uses for feeding. You might also see other structures such as the digestive system, nervous system, and reproductive organs. The appearance of the interior of the shell can vary depending on the species of brachiopod.
