This phylum includes snails and slugs, oysters and clams, and octopi and squid
Mollusca
Where do Molluscs live?
Marine, fresh water, and terrestrial
Soft bodies of many species are surrounded by a protective calcium carbonate shell
Mollusca
What three mollusca have a reduced internal shell?
Slugs, squids and octopi
What are the 3 parts of the molluscs body plan?
Foot, visceral mass, and mantle
This part of the body plan in mollusca is usually used for movement
Muscular foot
This part of the body plan in mollusca contains most of the internal organs
Visceral mass
This part of the body plan in mollusca is a fold of tissue draping over the visceral mass that secretes the shell
Mantle
Molluscs have a water-filled ________ ________ that house the gills, anus, and excretory pores
Mantle cavity
In mollusca, many feed using a strap like ________ to scrape up food
Radula
Most molluscs have separate ______, but many snails are _________________
Sexes; hermaphrodites
Many molluscs have a ciliated larval stage called
The trochophore
There are 8 clades of molluscs, the major 4 are
- Polyplacophora (chitons)
- Gastropoda (snails and slugs)
