Fig. 8. Movements of the odontophore relative to the buccal mass during biting
versus swallowing. (A) Biting (black lines) and swallowing (gray
lines) data showing averaged rotation of the anterior border of the I6
relative to the jaw line (black and gray lines, respectively, in (B). (C)
Biting (black lines) and swallowing (gray lines) data showing translation of
the anterior tip of the odontophore relative to the jaw line (black and gray
lines, respectively, in (D). In C, the gray horizontal line indicates the
location of the jaws (corresponding to 0 mm). When the data lie above this
line, the radula and underlying odontophore are protruding through the jaws.
Note that the averaged swallows do not cross this line, whereas the averaged
bites do cross it. Values in A and C are means (solid lines) ± 1 s.d.
(broken lines).
