What Is a Mollusk?
Mollusks are soft-bodied animals that
usually have an internal or external shell.
Mollusks include snails, slugs, clams, squids,
and octopi.
Many mollusks share similar developmental
stages.

What Is a Mollusk?
Many aquatic mollusks
have a free-swimming
larval stage called a
trochophore.
The trochophore larva is
also characteristic of
annelids, indicating that
these two groups may
be closely related.

Body Plan
The body plan of most mollusks has four
parts: foot, mantle, shell, and visceral
mass.

The mantle is a thin layer of tissue that covers most
of the mollusk's body.
The shell is made by glands in the mantle that
secrete calcium carbonate.
Just beneath the mantle is the visceral mass, which
contains the internal organs.

Snails and slugs feed
using a flexible, tongueshaped structure known
as a radula.
Hundreds of tiny teeth are
attached to the radula.
The radula is used to
scrape algae off rocks or
to eat the soft tissues of
plants.

Clams, oysters, and scallops use gills.
Food is carried by water, which enters the incurrent
siphon.
A siphon is a tubelike structure through which water
enters and leaves the body.

As water passes through the mantle cavity,
oxygen in the water moves into blood flowing
through the gills.
At the same time, carbon dioxide moves in the
opposite direction.

through vessels by a simple heart.

Form and Function in Mollusks
Blood leaves the vessels and works its way through
different sinuses.
Blood passes from the sinuses to the gills, where
oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. Blood is
then pumped back to the heart.
Slow-moving mollusks often have open circulatory
systems.

Faster-moving mollusks have a closed circulatory
system.
A closed circulatory system can transport blood
through an animal’s body much more quickly than an
open circulatory system.

Octopi and their relatives have the most highly
developed nervous system of all invertebrates.
Well-developed brains in these animals allows them
to remember things for long periods.

Movement
Snails secrete mucus along the base of the foot,
and then move over surfaces using a rippling
motion of the foot.
The octopus draws water into the mantle cavity
and then forces the water out through a siphon.
Water leaving the body propels the octopus in the
opposite direction.

Reproduction
Some mollusks reproduce sexually by external
fertilization.
In other mollusks, fertilization takes place inside
the body of the female.
Some mollusks are hermaphrodites and usually
fertilize eggs from another individual.

Gastropods
Gastropods are shell-less or singleshelled mollusks that move by using a
muscular foot located on the ventral
side.
Many gastropods have a single shell that
protects their bodies.
When threatened, they can pull completely
into their shells.

Cephalopods are typically soft-bodied
mollusks in which the head is attached to a
single foot. The foot is divided into
tentacles or arms.

Groups of Mollusks
Cephalopods have eight or more tentacles equipped
with sucking disks that grab and hold prey.
Most modern cephalopods have only small internal
shells or no shells at all.
The only present-day cephalopods with external
shells are nautiluses.

Cephalopods distinguish shapes by sight and texture
by touch.
