Trochophore
another feature shared by mollusks and annelids is a larval stage which develops from the fertilized egg.
Visceral Mass
is a central section that contains the mollusks organs.
Mantle
is a heavy fold of tissue that forms the outer layer of the body.
Foot
Every mollusk has a muscular region which is used primarily for locomotion.
Radula
a tongue like organ located in their mouth.
Nephridia
the beating of cilia pulls the fluid from the coelom into tiny tubular structures.
Adductor Muscles
2 thick muscles that joins the 2 valves in mollusks and that causes the shell to open.
Siphons
a hollow tube of bivalves used for sucking in an expelling sea water.
Cerebral Ganglion
_________or primitive brain is located in one anterior segment.
Septa
internal body walls, separate the segments of most annelids.
Setae
one of the external bristles or spines that project from the body of an annelid.
Parapodia
in the polychaetes, one of the two appendages that are used for locomotion or gas exchange.
