4. Body Plan of the Mollusks
Distinct bilateral symmetry.
Digestive, excretory, and reproductive organs all concentrated in a visceral mass and a muscular foot.
May have differentiated head.
Folds constituting a mantle.
Gills - Increased surface area for gas exchange.

5. Body Plan of the Mollusks
Shells serve primarily for protection.
Radula - Rasping tongue-like organ used for feeding.
Circulatory system (except cephalopods) consists of a heart and an open circulatory system.
Nitrogenous wasted removed by nephridia.

6. Body Plan of the Mollusks
Reproduction in Mollusks
Most have distinct male and female individuals.
Most engage in external fertilization.
Many have free-swimming larvae (trochophores) which closely resemble larval stage of many marine annelids.
Veliger stage follows trochophore stage.

10. Building of body from series of similar segments.
Segmented Animals
Building of body from series of similar segments.
Small change in existing segment can produce new kind of segment with different function.

Three characteristics:
Repeated Segments
Specialized Segments
Connections

11. Segmented Animals Body Plan of the Annelid Tube within a tube.
Internal digestive tract within the coelom.
Specialized for different functions.
Hydrostatic skeleton for locomotion.
Each segment typically possesses setae, that help anchor during locomotion.
Most have closed circulatory system.
Nephridia collect and transport wastes.
