  1. Mollusca Sheridan Olivia Kel http://www.infovisual.info/02/photo/Avisual-Mollusca.html

  2. Body Structure & functions • Muscular foot - used for movement • Visceral mass - contain most of the internal organs • Mantle - a fold of tissue that drapes over the visceral mass and secretes a shell • Mantle cavity - houses the gills, anus and excretory pores • Radula - scrape food http://waterquality.ec.gc.ca/WaterQualityWeb/media /cabin/bugs/Mollusca.jpg Kel Chan

  3. Major classes of Phylum Mollusca • Polyplacophore (e.g. Chitons) - shell with eight plates, foot used for locomotion, radula, no head • Gastropoda (e.g. snails, slugs) - asymmetrical body, coiled shell (if one is present), foot for locomotion, radula • Bivalvia (e.g. clams, mussels, scallops, oysters) - flattened shell with two valves, no head, paired gills, no radula, suspension feeders, mantle forms siphons • Cephalopoda (e.g. squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, chambered nautiluses) - head surrounded by grasping tentacles, have suckers, shell external, internal or absent, mouth w/ or w/o radula, locomotion by jet propulsion by siphon Kel Chan

Cephalopods http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/2181866/squid-main_Full.jpg http://img3.travelblog.org/Photos/1/195834/f/1458234-Coconut-Octopus-0.jpg http://hoopermuseum.earthsci.carleton.ca/saleem/Images/Ammonites.jpg Olivia Petrocco http://www.manandmollusc.net/advanced_introduction/MainPage/Nautilus.gif

  7. Chitons Structure: -oval-shaped body, not segmented -shell with 8 dorsal plates, segmented Food: -uses it’s radula to cut and ingest algae Marine; usually found clinging to rocks. Its foot acts as a suction cup to grip the rock and creep along it. (http://www.bethel.edu/~johgre/bio114d/images/higher%20inverts/nChiton.jpg) Sheridan Edwards

  8. Gastropods Structure: -torsion: in embryonic development, the visceral mass rotates 180 degrees -differs from shell formation -asymmetrical body usually with a coiled shell Food: -use radula to graze on algae or plants -predators with radula modified to boring holes in shells or tearing apart prey Terrestrial snails lack gills and use the lining of the mantle cavity as lungs.
