having a body cavity that is a coelom
acoelomate

pseudocoelomate
organism with body cavity that is not derived from the mesoderm
ctenidial gills (ctenidium)
respiratory organ or gills. that are found in mollusks

2. Deposit feeders
deposit feeders
ingest particles associated with sediments

2. Terrestrial or freshwater snails and slugs
Class bivalvia
- Two halves to shell
- Suspension feeders
- three chambered heart (open circulatory)
- Specialized for filter feeding
Class cephalopoda
- Squid, octopus, cuttlefish
