Asymmetrical mollusks of the class Gastropoda. These invertebrates with spiral shells and heads with one or two pairs of tentacles, include snails, whelks and slugs.
the largest and most successful class of mollusks (phylum Mollusca), containing over 35,000 living species and 15,000 fossil forms. Most gastropods have a one piece shell (univalve), however in some, such as slugs and nudibranchs there is no shell at all. Gastropods have a well defined head, with one or two sensory tentacles and a mouth. They travel by using a single large muscular foot.
a class of mollusks typically having a one-piece coiled shell and flattened muscular foot with a head bearing stalked eyes
one-shelled mollusks (Phylum: Mollusca, Class: Gastropoda). These univalve invertebrates have a coiled shell, a flattened foot, and a well-developed head with tentacles. Snails, limpets, conchs, whelks, and slugs are all gastropods.
mollusc of the class Gastropoda. Most gastropods (snails) have a single, non-chambered, calcareous shell which often spirals. They range from the Cambrian period to the Recent. ( Snails)
Snails with spiral or simple shells of the class Gastropoda
Organisms such as snails and slugs that lack a backbone and typically have a single coiled shell, a muscular foot, and eyes and feelers located on a distinct head.
A type of mollusk in the class Gastropoda, the largest and most successful class of mollusks.
class of mollusc which typically have a single, often coiled shell, and a head and unsegmented soft body. They are found as fossils in rocks from the early Cambrian, and now live successfully on the land, in the sea, and in fresh water. The name means "stomach foot". Examples are snails, whelks and slugs.
one of a class of mollusks that includes the snails and nudibranchs.
( gas - troh - pod) A generic term for animals belonging to the class Gastropoda. A single coiled shell and a single muscle mass for locomotion characterize them. Snails and slugs are gastropods.
Gastropods are a class of mollusks that have a sucker-like foot.
A member of the Gastropoda class of molluscs which includes snails and slugs.
A group of molluscs that travel on a single, muscular foot and often secrete a one-piece shell for protection. Snails, slugs, limpets and abalones are all gastropods.
Any of a large class of mollusks, often having one-piece, straight or spiral shells and a broad, muscular foot with which to move; e.g., conch, snails, etc.
