  2. Digestive system of gastropods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_system_of_gastropods

    dg - digestive gland. The digestive system of gastropods has evolved to suit almost every kind of diet and feeding behavior. Gastropods (snails and slugs) as the largest taxonomic class of the mollusca are very diverse: the group includes carnivores, herbivores, scavengers, filter feeders, and even parasites.

  5. Gastropoda - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastropoda

    Gastropods have the greatest numbers of named mollusk species. However, estimates of the total number of gastropod species vary widely, depending on cited sources. The number of gastropod species can be ascertained from estimates of the number of described species of Mollusca with accepted names: about 85,000 (minimum 50,000, maximum 120,000). [9]

  6. Hepatopancreas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatopancreas

    The hepatopancreas, digestive gland or midgut gland is an organ of the digestive tract of arthropods and molluscs. It provides the functions which in mammals are provided separately by the liver and pancreas , including the production of digestive enzymes , and absorption of digested food.

  8. Siphon (mollusc) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon_(mollusc)

    In many marine gastropods where the siphon is particularly long, the structure of the shell has been modified in order to house and protect the soft tissue of the siphon. This shell modification is known as the siphonal canal. For a gastropod whose shell has an exceptionally long siphonal canal, see Venus comb murex.

  9. Peristome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristome

    The peristome is the margin of the aperture of a gastropod shell. It is the edge of the lip of the shell. This part is sometimes reflected (turned back) or thickened once the snail reaches adult size, and these qualities of the peristome can be diagnostic features of the shell which may aid in identification of the species.
