Snails are soft-bodied animals with a protective shell. Although snail shells help to protect the snail from environmental threats and predators, occasionally the shell is damaged by predatory birds.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COLUMELLAR MUSCLE AND COLUMELLAR OF GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAIL (Archachatina marginata)
The columellar muscles originate from the columellar of the shell, attaching the body parts of snail to the shell and responsible for retraction in coiled gastropods. The attachment of the columellar muscle to the columellar enhances the performance of the columellar muscle.
