keskiaivokuoren
Keskiaivokuoren, also known as the middle shell or middle layer, is a structural component found in various marine and terrestrial organisms, primarily within mollusks and some invertebrates. It serves as a vital part of the organism’s protective and supportive architecture, positioned between the outer shell (periostracum and calcified layers) and the innermost layer, which often interacts with the organism’s soft tissues.
In mollusks such as bivalves and gastropods, keskiaivokuoren is typically a layer of calcium carbonate or aragonite,
The formation of keskiaivokuoren involves complex biological mineralization processes, regulated by specialized cells within the organism.
From an evolutionary perspective, keskiaivokuoren enhances survivability by reinforcing the shell’s structural integrity without significantly increasing
Research into keskiaivokuoren contributes to biomimicry and materials science, inspiring the development of lightweight, durable composite
