What does RADULA mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A ribbon-like structure covered in rows of tiny, chitinous teeth, found in the mouths of most molluscs and used to scrape or cut food.
A snail drags its radula back and forth across a leaf or rock like a rasping file, shredding algae or plant tissue into pieces small enough to swallow. Different molluscs carry a radula shaped for very different diets, from the fine, brush-like radula of a grazing limpet to the harpoon-like modified radula that some predatory cone snails use to inject venom into prey. Zoologists often examine the pattern of teeth on a radula under a microscope to help identify or classify a mollusc species. Bivalves such as clams and mussels are the main molluscs that lack a radula entirely, feeding instead by filtering water.
How RADULA is used
A specialist anatomical term from zoology, applied to the rasping feeding organ found in most molluscs.
