Answer 2

hey mate❤️

your answer:-

The osphradium is an olfactory organ in certain molluscs, linked with the respiration organ.Structure of ospharadium is like a feather of bird called "Bipectinate".The main function of this organ is thought to be to test incoming water for silt and possible food particles.

FUNCTION:-

DESPITE the universal occurrence of the osphradium in the mantle cavity of marine Gastropoda and the large size to which it may attain, the current views as to its function are unsatisfactory. It has been considered (a) an organ for testing the water which enters the mantle cavity (Bernard1), and (b) as a chemo-receptor concerned with the detection of food in water (Henschel2, Brock3).
