what are the four classes of mullusks that we will be studying?
1. Gastropods (snails)
2. Bivalves (clams)
3. Cephalopods (octopus)
4. Polyplacophora (chitons)
[dervied Mulluscan feature] what 5 special features does all mullusc share
1. mantle
2. muscular food
3. radula
4. ctenidium
5. shell
what is a Mantle
a thin skin-ike structure that encloses the internal organs and secretes the external skeleton (the shell)
The food
the food is the muscular locomotory sturcture
The radula
teeth-- use for scraping algae from rocks, tearing flesh into smaller pieces, harpooning prey, or boring through shels
The ctenidia
are specialized sturtures used for gas exchange and in some cases filter feeding
The shell
an external skeleton-- protects he soft parts of the animal.
**shell is produced from a mantle (encloses internal organs)
Gastropods are the most diverse molluscan group and often referred to as _____
snails
[gastropods] important anatomical features in them
the food, tentacles, shell, and radula (teeth)
Bivalves are the second largest moluscan group and are mostly marine. Gives some examples of Bivalves
clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops
What is the most prominent feature of bivalves
the shell composed of two similar valves (half-shells).

**the thing is made of elastic tissues and connects the two valves. responsible for opening the shell.
Bivalves don't have a ____ or _____
radula or head
Features that bivalves have
**muscular food, eyes
what kind of feeder are bivalves
filter feeders
[digestive system]
Cilia lining the _____ beat pulling water containg food, into the ______
1. ctenidia
2. inccurrent siphon
water is filtered through the _____ and expelled out through the posterior _____
1. ctenidia
2. excurrent siphon
Food particles are sorted and transferred to the mouth by the _____
labial palps
from the labial palps food is drawn through the _____ into the stomach and smaller particles enter the ________ where extra-cellular digestion occurs
esophagus

intestine

anus
from the labial palps food is drawn through the _____ into the stomach and smaller particles enter the ________ where extra-cellular digestion occurs
esophagus

digestive glands (*most absorption of nutrients occures here)
the anus empties into the ____
excurrent siphon
Larger or indigestible particles pass from the stomach into the ____ and out the _____.
intestine

anus
[Excretory System] nitrogenous wastes in the form of ____ are excreted into the _____ by a pair of ____.
1. ammonia

2. excurrent siphon

3. nephridia
the anus empties into the ____
excurrent siphon
[Circulatory/Respiratory system] Most bivalves have an open or close circulatory system
open circulatory system (pools of blood in the sinus)
[Excretory System] nitrogenous wastes in the form of ____ are excreted into the _____ by a pair of ____.
1. ammonia

2. excurrent siphon

3. nephridia
bivalves respiratory pigment
hemocyanin (cu) dissove in plasma
[Circulatory/Respiratory system] Most bivalves have an open or close circulatory system
open circulatory system (pools of blood in the sinus)
however some bivalves use ____ as thier respiratory pigment

are lymphocytes present?
yes, they are. A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell
the heart contains _____
hemolymph
the heart is located dorsally and is easily seen du to its
bright organe color --- it beats rhythmically to create pressure
the heart contains _____
hemolymph
hemolymph is forced into the ____ and carried to various tissures by _____, which open into cavities (or sinuses)
1. aorta
2. vessels
a system of sinuses collects and transports the hemolymph to the ctenidia, where _____ occurs
gas exchange
[Nervous System}
**Bivalves, except for cephalopods, have poor sense organs and limited chephalization
Reproduction System
**dioecious
**have a pair of gonads that empty gametes into the excurrent siphon.
**Fertillization occur externally
[class: Cephaopoda (otctopus, ect]
what is the most unusual feature in this group
