Symmetry in mollusks
 Bilateral symmetry
How do mollusks move?
 Most – muscular foot
 Tentacles
 Shells
http://gotmuscle.weebly.com/mollusca.html
Nervous system
 Present nervous system
 Nerve bundles
 Ganglia
 Squid-large developed eyes similar to human
Digestive System
 Siphon system
 Waste
Excretory system
 Nephridium
 Kidney
 One-way
Circulatory system
 Cephalopods-closed
 Gastropods and Bivalves-open
Respiratory System
 Siphons
 Gills
Support of skeletal system
 Outer shell
 Soft body
 Muscular foot
 Tentacle's
Reproductive system
 Sexually
 Gonad
Three main classes
 Gastropod/Univalves
 Bivalves
 Cephalopods

Gastropods/Univalves
 Largest group of mollusks’
 Snails, conchs (univalves), abalones, whelks, sea slugs, and garden slugs
 On shell (except slugs)
 rhythmic contraction of muscular foot
 Use radula to scrape up food

Bivalves
 Clams, oysters, and scallops
 Two-part, hinged shell joined by strong muscles
 Close shell by contracting muscles
 Well adapted to living under water
 Clams move with their foot
 Scallops open and close shell rapidly

Cephalopods
 Most specialized and complex group
 Squid, octopuses, cuttlefish, and chambered nautiluses
 Foot divided into many tentacles
 All live in water
 Well developed nervous system
 Only mollusks with closed circulatory system

Why are cephalopods mollusks?
 Similar internal structures
 U shaped digestive track
 mantle
 Used to have a shell
 Now kind of internal

Mollusks are referred to as “soft-bodied”
because…
 Composed of shell and fleshy body
 The shell protects the soft body
 Fleshy part divided into foot & visceral mass
 Organs stored soft, fleshy visceral mass
The real meaning
 Gastropod: “stomach foot”
 Cephalopod: “head foot”
How pearls are created
 In oysters, clams, and mussels
 Foreign substance in shell and mantle
 Mantle creates substance to protect itself
 Mantle layers irritant in mantle substance
 Eventually results in a shell
