What is Overview of Mollusca Characteristics about?
The phylum Mollusca includes soft-bodied animals with a mantle and shell. They have a head-foot complex containing sensory organs and muscles, a visceral mass with digestive organs, and a mantle secreting the shell. Molluscs have open circulatory systems and excrete through nephridia. They show great diversity through elaboration on the basic molluscan body plan, with over 128,000 living species across classes including Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Cephalopoda, Polyplacophora, and Scaphopoda.
