A cutaway schematic depicts the radula inside the buccal mass of a mollusk, showing a chitinous ribbon with transverse rows of tooth-like denticles that rasp food. In biological hierarchy, denticles line the radula, which resides within the buccal cavity of the head as part of the digestive system (gastrointestinal, GI tract). This anatomical structure is studied in malacology and comparative anatomy/physiology. Functionally, the radula scrapes and macerates food before ingestion, illustrating the feeding apparatus characteristic of phylum Mollusca.
