The abdominal sense organ of the giant scallop, Placopecten magellanicus, is composed of two cell types. The presumed receptor cells bear a single cilium 60 to 70 micrometer in length. The microvilli at the apices of these cells may also be modified into microvillous whorls. From eight to twelve ciliated cells are associated with a single mucous cell. The mucous cells have a much greater diameter than the ciliated cells and contain many electron-dense mucous granules. No function has yet been determined for the ciliated cells, although a number of theories are presented.
巨扇贝（Placopecten magellanicus）的腹部感觉器官由两种细胞类型组成。推测的受体细胞带有一根长度为60至70微米的单根纤毛。这些细胞顶端的微绒毛也可能被修饰成微绒毛轮。8至12个纤毛细胞与单个黏液细胞相连。黏液细胞的直径比纤毛细胞大得多，并且含有许多电子致密的黏液颗粒。尽管提出了一些理论，但纤毛细胞的功能尚未确定。
