Source sentences:
text: The pallial complex is a collection of structures at the roof of the mantle cavity and typically contains at least one pair of lamellate gills (ctenidia), a thick layer of glandular epithelium called mucus tracts or hypobranchial glands, and the outlets for the digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems.
text: Mollusca Respiration - Respiration amongst Molluscs is conducted through gills called Ctenidia (ctenidium), located in the mantle cavity (the space between the mantle and the body wall proper) and varies with the Species and with the type of habitat.
text: The gills of filter-feeding bivalves are known as ctenidia and have become highly modified to increase their ability to capture food.
text: All molluscs have a well developed excretory system and it is in the respiratory system that there are great adaptations: in aquatic animals, the exchange of gases is carried out through the surface of the body, as in other lower invertebrates, also developing specialized respiratory organs, called gills (ctenidia), which reach a singular development in nudibranchs; in some terrestrial snails and freshwater it is the mantle that has a similar function to a respiratory lung.
text: During water intake by the incurrent siphon, food particles are captured by the paired posterior gills (ctenidia) and then carried by the movement of cilia forward to the mouth.
text: In aquatic gastropods, the mantle cavity encloses the gills (ctenidia), but in land gastropods, the mantle itself is the major respiratory structure, acting as a kind of lung.
text: Gills (ctenidia) are attached to the wall of the mantle cavity and are serviced by large blood vessels, each with its own heart.

text: Typically, at least in the more primitive members of each group, there are one or more pairs of gills (called ctenidia) which lie in a posterior cavity (the pallial cavity) or in a posterolateral groove surrounding the foot.
text: Freshwater and marine mollusks have gills (called ctenidia) for respiration, located in the mantle cavity.
