Phylogenetic Tree:

picture of phylogenetic tree
Phylum Mollusca about 110,000 living species about 35,000 of these are fossil species 1) have a mantle -tissue that secretes/forms a shell A. shells 1. one piece shells: snails 2. two piece shells: clams 3. eight piece shells: chitons B. Mantle forms a mantle cavity which may house: 1) gills 2) lungs 3) reproductive systems 2) Muscular "foot" for locomotion A. foot 1. flat sole (snails) 2. compressed (clams) 3. arms or tentacles (squid) SEE PAGE 553 3 Types of Mollusks: 1. Gastropod 2. Bivalve 3. Gephalapode All mollusks except bivalve have radula which is used to scrape food Mollusks have both an open and a closed circulatory system (cephalopoda) 3 Classes of Mollusks: 1. Gastropoda -coiled shell; including snails and slugs 2. Peleypoda (bivalves) -hinged shells: clams and oysters 3. Cephalopoda -head with tentacles: squid, octopus Phylum Arthropoda -segmented body -external skeleton: exoskeleton -nerve cord is ventral rather than dorsal -open circulatory system 3 main classes 1. Crustacea -2 pairs of antennae -respire by gills -lobster, crayfish, crab, shrimp, barnacle, pill bugs
