  1. Phylum Mollusca (5 Classes) Polyplacophora – Many plates on a footCephalopoda – Head foot Gastropoda – Stomach Scaphopoda – Tusk shell Bivalvia – Hatchet foot foot Policemen censor gals in scant bikinis!

  2. Typical questions for Mollusca • How many of these specimens posses a radula? • Which ones are filter feeders? • Which have undergone torsion? Detorsion? • Name the function of the mantle? • Name a class used for currency • Which specimens have lungs? • (Just have think of which live on land vs. in water……) • Name the oldest part of a univalve shell? Bivalve?

  3. Answers…maybe • Gastropods, Cephalopoda, Mono-, A- & Polyplacophora • Bivalvia (Scaphopoda….have a captacula) • Gastropods Opisthobranchia (sea hares & sea slugs) and the land slugs of the Pulmonata • Mantle secretes the shell • Scaphopoda • Pulmonata – their name gives this away • Apex for Univalve, Umbo for bivalve but often the terms are used interchangeably

  4. Anus Gills in mantle cavity Mantle Radula in mouth Head Chitons radula, 8 plates ClassPolyplacophora

  5. Tentacles (2)& arms are all derived from the gastropod foot ClassCephalopoda - Octopuses, Squid, Nautilus, Cuttlefish…beak, pen, ink sac, chromatophores, jet propulsion……….dissection.

  6. Aquatic – marine. Generally having thick pointed shells, spines, & many have opercula. Subclass Prosobranchia Apex Gastropoda WORDS TO KNOW: snails, conchs, torsion, coiling, radula, operculum & egg sac Subclass Pulmonata Aquatic – freshwater. Shells are thin, rounded, with no spines, ridges or opercula.

  7. Subclass Pulmonata Slug Detorsion… If something looks strange, chances are…. …….it is something from Class Gastropoda (…or your roommate!) Subclass Opisthobranchia Nudibranch

  8. Class Gastropoda ‘POP’ Sinistral Dextral • Subclass Prosobranchia • - Aquatic snails (“shells”) • - Have gills • Subclass Opisthobranchia • Marine • Have gills • - Nudibranchs / Sea slugs / Sea hares • Mantle cavity & shell reduced or absent • Subclass Pulmonata • Terrestrial Slugs and terrestrial snails • Have lungs

  9. ClassScaphopoda- “tusk shells” Wampum Indian currency. ‘Head’ in sand. Respire through mantle (no gills.)Captacula for feeding on (capturing) foramniferans

  10. Name of oldest part? D P A V ClaBivalviaor Pelecypoda- clams, scallops etc. filter feeders, bivalved shells…… dissection

  11. Umbo D P A V ClaBivalviaorPelecypoda- clams, scallops etc. filter feeders, bivalved shells…… dissection

  12. Path of water (O2) Dorsal (hinge) Ventricle Heart Auricle Bulbus arteriosus Anterior (Umbo) Adductor muscles Area of gastric & /digestive glands Gills Posterior (siphons) Mouth Visceral Mass Excurrent & Incurrent siphon – (hairs & papullae) Foot Gills or ctenidium – Each = 2 demibranchs Mantle Ventral Very Schematic Diag. of a Clam Dissection

  13. Quiz Mollusca • Which class has an incomplete digestive system? • Ophiuroidea (Brittle stars & basket stars lack an anus) • How many classes posses a radula? • 3 of the 5 classes (Cephalopoda, Polyplacophora & Gastropoda) • How many are filter feeders? • 1 of the 5 classes (Bivalvia) • What feeding structure do Scaphopoda use? A/ pedicellaria B/captacula or C/Aristotle’s Lantern? – B - to catch foramnifera
