mollusc
mollusc Any of more than 80,000 species of invertebrate animals in the phylum Mollusca. They include the
snails,
clams and
squids, and a host of less well-known forms. Originally marine, members of the group are now found in the oceans, in freshwater and on land. There are six classes: the
gastropods,
chitons, univalves (
slugs and snails),
bivalves, tusk shells, and
cephalopod. The mollusc body divides into three: the head, the foot, and the visceral mass. Associated with the body is a fold of skin (the mantle) that secretes the limy shell typical of most molluscs. The head is well developed only in snails and in the cephalopods. The visceral mass contains the internal organs. The sexes are usually separate but there are many hermaphroditic species.
