Phylum
Mollusca
1
General Characteristics
 50,000 or more species of molluscs.
 They share 3 major sets of characteristics:
 Body enclosed by a mantle that secretes a shell
made of calcium or some other stiff structure.
 A mantle cavity between the mantle and the
internal organs; the anus, reproductive, and
excretory ducts open into the mantle cavity.
 A ventral, muscular foot that is highly modified
among the various groups of molluscs.
2
General Characteristics Cont’d
 Free-living, multicellular animals
 Invertebrates (lack a backbone)
 Unsegmented
 Have a true coelom
 Bilateral symmetry
 Simple to complex nervous system
3
Habitats & Niches
 Some mollusc habitats include:
 Marine (mostly)
 Freshwater (a few)
 Land (a few)
 Mollusc niches (life-style):
 Most live on the ocean bottom and are mostly sedentary
 Some are free-swimming (the cephalopods)
4
The six major mollusc classes
 Those 6 classes are:
 Monoplacophora (mono=single; placo=shell; phora=bearing)
 Ex. Neopilina
 Aplacophora (a=without)
 Ex. Neomenia
 Polyplacophora (poly=many)
 Ex. Chitons
 Gastropoda (gastro=body cavity; poda=foot)
 Ex. Common garden snail, abalone, turban snail
 Scaphopoda
 Ex. Dentalium
 Cephalopoda (cephalo=dealing with head; poda=foot)
 Ex. Squid, octopus, etc.
5
Shell in Mollusca
The soft, unsegmented bodies of mollusk is
covered by hard and calcareous shell which
acts as protective covering.
Shell may be external or internal
Study of mollucscan shell called conchology.
6
CLASS: Scaphopoda (Dentalium)
 Shell opens on both ends
 External ,cyndriccally tubular, curved and tapered.
 Oral end is wider, shape like elephants tusk, white in
colour with grooves on entire shell.
 In Cadulus is cucumber shaped.
7
Class Aplacophora
 Shell is absent, mantle is thick with calcareous spicules.
Acts as protective covering in Solenogaster.
8
Class Monoplacophora
 Neopilina Single shell dorsal large cup like shell is present.
shell is thin, subcircular with raised and curved apex.
9
Class Polyplacophora
 Chitons are the only genus in the class Polyplacophora.
 Their specific characteristics:
 Posses a shell that consists of 8 overlapping plates.
 Overlapping calcareous plates forms a solid armour covering the
dorsal surface.
 The cephalic and anal shell plates are keeled middorsally .
10
11
Class Gastropoda
 Most popular class of molluscs.
 Consists of snails and snail-like creatures.
 Specific characteristics:
 They have a dorsally located shell (often coiled).
 Shell is composed of single piece that is univalved and spirally
coiled.
 The shell has elongated form and hollow cone spirally coiled
around central axis called columella.
 A single coil of shell round the axis is called whorl.
 Dextral shell: aperture in right side and coling anticlockwise.
 Sinistral: left aperture coilingclockwise.
12
13
Class Bivalvia (Pelecypoda)
 Specific Characteristics:
 They have no head.
 They have two shells held together by powerful muscles.
 They have a ventrally located foot that sticks out between the two
valves.
 Habitats include: marine and freshwater.
 They tend to burrow into soft mud or sand or attach to rocks or
other shells.
 Large gills are used for respiration and filter feeding.
 Food is trapped by mucus on the gills and moved by cilia.
Water enters and exits through siphons.
14
15
Class Cephalopoda
 Contains the largest molluscs.
 Specific Characteristics:
 May lack a shell (like an octopus)
 Shell may be reduced to a stiffening rod (like the squid or nautilus)
 The foot is highly modified to form a group of tentacles around the
mouth.
 They are found in deep and shallow waters along many coasts.
 Squids & Nautilus are free-swimming and move very quickly.
Octopuses are found among rocks or crawling on the bottom of the
ocean.
 Complex brain, two lateral eyes, excellent eyesight.
