their shells together to propel themselves through
water

Section 3: Mollusks
Mollusks are coelomates with a muscular foot, a mantle, and a

digestive tract with two openings.
Their digestive and circulatory systems are

highly developed

Mollusks (Phylum: Mollusca)
• Include slugs (slow-moving), snails, scallops, and squid (jet- propelled)
• Bilateral symmetry
• The first coelomates (Digestive tract with two openings)
• Undergo protostome development ( mouth develops first)
• Many are marine, some live in freshwater and others live in moist land
environments
• Reproduce sexually
Ms Tala Abdelhafez,Mr Elie Malek Mollusks

How can you describe the body of a mollusk>?
• Sof internal body often with a shell
• Muscular foot
• Mantle: membrane that surrounds the internal organs of mollusks which
secretes calcium carbonate to form the shell in some mollusks, others like
slugs and squids are adapted to life without a hard outer covering
• Radula: unique tongue-like organ

How does a radula help mollusks obtain food?
• Many mollusks use a radula, a tongue

like organ with rows of teeth, to scrape
food into their mouths. → Is the
radula soft or rough?
• Herbivorous mollusks: use their
radulas to scrape algae off rocks.
• Carnivorous mollusks: use their
radulas to drill into other mollusks and
feed on their internal body parts.

How does a radula help mollusks obtain food?
• Predators such as octopuses and squids, use their radulas to

tear up the food they capture with their tentacles .
• Other mollusks, such as clams, filter feed and do not have
radulas.
• Mollusks have a complete gut with digestive glands, stomach,
and intestines.

Complete Digestive system
• Mollusks have a complete gut with digestive glands, stomach,

and intestines.

Quick Check
1) Is the picture showing carnivorous or
herbivorous mollusks? Justify
2) How do these mollusks use their radula?

3) Do all mollusks have radula? Justify your
choice
How do mollusks breathe?
• Most mollusks have gills, respiratory structures that
consist of filamentous projections (thin threads) with
lots of surface area for gas exchange.
Explain how gills function
• As water moves over the gills, blood moving through the
gills absorbs oxygen from the water and releases carbon
dioxide from the blood.
• Gills also function in filter feeding.

How do Mollusk Circulatory systems work?
• Most mollusks have an open circulatory system, where blood is
pumped out of vessels into open spaces surrounding the body
organs.
• Some mollusks have a closed circulatory system, where blood is
confined to vessels as it moves through the body.

How do Mollusk Circulatory systems work?
Open Circulatory System Closed Circulatory System
Snails and Clams Squids and octopuses
Animals diffuse oxygen and nutrients Animals move nutrients and oxygen
into tissues that are bathed in blood through closed circulatory system
and to move carbon dioxide from where blood is confined to vessels as it
tissues into the blood moves through the body to cells,
where they’re converted to usable
forms of energy
Slow- moving animals that needs less Fast-moving animals that needs more
energy energy
No need of rapid delievery of oxygen Rapid delivery of oxygen and nutrients
and nutrients is needed For quick movements

Quick Check
Which circulatory system delivers nutrients and

oxygen more quickly? (Circle your answer.)
a. open circulatory system
b. closed circulatory system

How do mollusks dispose of wastes?
• Mollusks get rid of wastes using structures that filter the

blood called nephridia
How does nephridia help maintain homeostasis?
Balance body fluids
What do you think happens to the wastes collected by
nephridia?
Waste is passed out through the mantle cavity.

Response to stimuli
• Mollusks have a nervous system that coordinates movement
and behavior.
• More highly evolved mollusks, such as octopuses, have
brains and complex eyes similiar to human eyes..
• Most mollusks have simple eyes.

Visualizing Movement in Mollusks

Movement
• The muscular foot of a calm enables it burrow into wet sand.
• Mollusks with two shells can clap their shells together for
rapid bursts of swimming.

Movement
• Snails and slugs move along a trail of mucus produced by

glands in their muscular foot.
• Octopuses and squids take water into the mantle cavity and
expel it through a tube called a siphon. When threatened,
they can eject the water so rapidly that they appear to be jet-
propelled.

Design a siphon

Reproduction
• Mollusks reproduce sexually.
• Males and females of most aquatic species release their

sperms and eggs into the water at the same time and
fertilization is external.
• Few bivalves and many gtastropods that live on land are

hemaphrodites, in which fertilization takes place internally.
• All mollusks share similar developmental patterns.

Diversity of Mollusks
Gastropods
• Gastropoda, or stomach-footed, is the largest class of mollusks.
• Most species of gastropods have a single shell, such as snails and
limpets.
• Found in aquatic and in moist terrestrial habitats.
• They draw their bodies into their shells for protection.
• Other gastropods have no shell, such as slugs and nudibranchs, they
secrete a thick mucus that covers their bodies.

Bivalves
• Bivalves are two-shelled mollusks, such as clams and
oysters.
• All aquatic, most marine
• Filter-feeders
• Mussels attach to rocks with a sticky, gluelike substance
called byssal threads.

Cephalopods
• Cephalopods are the head-footed mollusks, such as octopuses and squid.
• Most cephalopods have an internal shell, and octopuses don’t have a
shell.
• The cephalopod foot is divided into arms and tentacles with suckers.
• Octopuses are considered to be the most intelligent mollusk, are capable
of complex learning.
