The respiratory system of gastropods varies greatly in form. These variations were once used as a basis for dividing the group into subclasses. The majority...

The respiratory system (also respiratory apparatus, ventilatory system) is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas...

a respiratory opening of the external body anatomy of an air-breathing land slug or land snail. It is a part of the respiratory system of gastropods. It...

As in other molluscs, the circulatory system of gastropods is open, with the fluid, or haemolymph, flowing through sinuses and bathing the tissues directly...

oxygen-capturing molecule. The respiratory system of gastropods can include either gills or a lung. Aquatic arthropods generally possess some form of gills in which gas...

reproductive adaptations of gastropods vary significantly from one clade or group to another, so stating many generalities for all gastropods is difficult. The...

Polyplacophorans (chitons), and in aquatic gastropods such as freshwater snails and marine snails. Some aquatic gastropods possess one ctenidium known as monopectinate...

equivalent to the organic periostracum found in other gastropods, and the innermost layer is made of aragonite. The foot is also unusual, being armored at...

order to hunt for food. Marine gastropods that have a siphon are either predators or scavengers. Although in gastropods the siphon functions perfectly...

of invertebrate species, including annelids, molluscs, nematodes and arthropods. One type of invertebrate respiratory system is the open respiratory system...

simultaneously have a gill and a lung as functional respiratory structures, which are separated by a division of the mantle cavity. This adaptation allows these...

applies to gastropods that have a coiled shell large enough that they can fully retract their soft parts into it). Various taxonomic families of land slugs...

miniature hearts to pump blood around the haemal system. Additional vessels surround the respiratory trees, although they contact them only indirectly...

arch of a fish (on the inner surface of the opercle, near the junction of the preopercle) as well as a reduced "false" gill in some gastropods. In teleost...

Scotoplanes have a poorly developed respiratory system and they breathe from their anus. This refers to the lack of a respiratory tree. Their bodies are made...

Tucker and Tenorio's proposed classification system for the cone shells and other clades of Conoidean gastropods is shown in Tucker & Tenorio cone snail taxonomy...

animals with paired valves include certain gastropods (small sea snails in the family Juliidae), members of the phylum Brachiopoda and the minute crustaceans...

proboscis protrusion. Telescopium telescopium respiratory system works in the same way to other semi-tidal gastropods in that it gets oxygen from water passing...

This list of gastropods described in 2017 is a list of new taxa of snails and slugs of every kind that have been described (following the rules of the ICZN)...

thin-walled protrusions of the body cavity that reach through the body wall and extend into the surrounding water. These serve a respiratory function. The structures...

as both a respiratory and an excretory system. Oxygen is absorbed primarily through the tube feet, which are the most thin-walled parts of the body, with...

acoelomates (having no body cavity), and having no specialised circulatory and respiratory organs, they are restricted to having flattened shapes that allow oxygen...

intelligent of the invertebrates and have well developed senses and large brains (larger than those of gastropods). The nervous system of cephalopods...

characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell's outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of nacre, which in many species...

tissue lattices support the respiratory muscles and allow them to expand the respiratory chamber. The lamella structure of the gills allows for a high...
