Partial to complete detorsion anus and gills are displaced to right side. Torsion, or twisting, often lead to an assymetry in the mantle cavity organs, the loss of one of a set of paired gills being one of the most obvious examples. The cilia of the gills draw the respiratory current from behind the mantle which is in opposite direction of the current produced by the locomotion of the animal and the weak current of the sea itself, thus producing disadvantage in respiration and locomotion. In contrary to that, after the detorsion the nerves lay straight and parallel again, which is why opisthobranch and pulmonate snails are grouped as euthyneura straight nerve snails.
