18 Marine Gastropods Sea Hare – Aplysia sp

19 Marine Gastropods - Nudibranch

20 Terrestrial Gastropods - Pulmonata The mantle cavity serves as a “lung” The mantle cavity serves as a “lung” Glandular epidermis Glandular epidermis Secrete mucus (slime) upon which gastropod glides Secrete mucus (slime) upon which gastropod glides

21 Phylum Mollusca, Class Bilvalia Two shells Two shells Incurrent & excurrent siphons Incurrent & excurrent siphons No cephalization No cephalization

22 Generalized Bivalve Anatomy

23 Bivalve Anatomy (Sagittal)

24 Bivalves are Typically Filter Feeders
