Presented in twenty extensively illustrated volumes, Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrates provides specific and exhaustive coverage of all the major invertebrate phyla, offering full accounts of their gross, histological, and ultrastructural anatomy. The twenty individual volumes are arranged phylogenetically, beginning with the protozoa, defined herein as the motile protists, and concluding with the invertebrate members of the phylum Chordata.

Part of a multi-volume reference work which provides comprehensive coverage of the functional anatomy of invertebrates, this particular volume concentrates on mollusca 1.

Volume 6 in the series Microscopic Anatomy of Invertebrates examines the basic physiology of such functions as sensation and motor control, respiration, digestion, and reproduction in animals in the phylum mollusca. This volume provides specific coverage of mollusca with use of illustrations. The 15 volume set of which this is part is unrivalled in scope and thoroughness. It will stand for decades as the definitive work on invertebrate anatomy.
