Functional morphology of suction discs and attachment performance of the Mediterranean medicinal leech (Hirudo verbana Carena)

Medicinal leeches use their suction discs for locomotion, adhesion to the host and, in the case of the anterior disc, also for blood ingestion. The biomechanics of their suction-based adhesion systems has been little understood until now. We investigated the functional morphology of the anterior and...
