I. Shelled Gastropods (Snails)
• A. Digestion: One way digestive tract (in the mouth, out the anus)
• B. Circulation: Have a 1 chambered heart
• C. Breathing: Breathes by taking water into its siphon tube, which brings it to internal gills

D. Movement in snails:
• Moves along surfaces by a muscular foot
• Have 2 sets of tentacles: Anterior (front) and Posterior (back):–Front pair are used for a sense of touch
–Back pair are used for seeing

Types of Snails
1. Mud Snails:•Are scavengers – eat dead or dying organisms
•Use a Radula to tear and shred dead matter

2. Moon SnailsFeed on live clams• Secrete a chemical out of
the foot to soften the shell • Uses a radula to drill a hole
in the shell• The snail inserts its mouth
and eats the clam

3. Cone Snails
• Are predatory snails• Have toxins which are used to
kill prey–These toxins are of great interest to scientists and are being studied for their benefits to humans

Cone snail’s harpoon-like radula
•Used to spear small fish
•Then delivers poison to its prey

II. Shell-less Gastropods1.The Sea Hare
A. Appearance: Have no shells or the shell is very small
B. Diet: Graze on algaeC. Protection: Some
release dark ink for protectionD. Life cycle: (beginning
to end) is about 1 year

E. Reproduction: Are Hermaphrodites – Male at the front end and female at the back end

Sea Hare reproduction
Are HermaphroditesAre Male at the front end and female at the back end
They can be seen mating in large chains
They lay up to 80 million eggs in a group, and resemble spaghetti

Are more than 3,000 species worldwide
Have Rhinophores (-tentacles on top of the head used for finding food and a mate)
