INTRODUCTION
MOLLUSCA Molluscus =soft Body is differentitated anterior head,visceral mass,ventral muscular foot. Head-eyes tentacles, visceral mass-organ system,foot-locomotion.. Bilaterally symmetrical,triploblastic,coelomates haemocoel.-haemocyanin

Respiration-ctenidia Nervous system-series of gangliainterconnected by commissures,connectives Sense organs-eyes,statocysts,osphradia..

CLASSIFICATION
Monoplacophora-primitive segmented

Eg:-neopilina Amphineura-shell-eight broad plates Eg:-Chiton Gastropoda-spirally coilled shell Eg:-snail,Haliotis,Helix.. Schapoda-shell-open both ends Eg:-Dentalium Pelecypoda-bivalves Eg:-Unio Cephalopoda

Cephalopoda

Active swimming animals Head-foot Tentacles,eyes Advanced nervous system(cephalization) Eg:-Sepia,Squid,Octopus,Nautilus

NERVOUS SYSTEM IN SEPIA

Cerebral Ganglia

Pedal Ganglia

Pleuro-Ganglia

Stellate-Ganglia Gastric Ganglia

Nervous system in sepia

CEREBRAL GANGLIA
CEREBRAL GANGLIA: larger, cranial cartilage..brain gives off optic nerves.optic ganglia,olfactory pits.. Cerbral ganglia connects superior-buccal ganglia by cerebrobuccal commissures.

PEDAL GANGLIA
Send ten branchial nerves ..infundibular

nerves.. It connected superior buccal ganglia by bucco-pedal connectives..

PLEURO-VISCERAL GANGLIA
Behind oesophagus..it gives off visceral loop,branchial nerves having branchial

ganglia..pallial nerves..

STELLATE GANGLION and GASTRIC GANGLIA

Stellate ganglia: Large,flat,stellate ganglia ..observed in

mantle cavity Gastric ganglia:sympathetic nerves arise from inferior buccal ganglia meet gastric ganglion..
SENSE ORGANS:eyes,statocysts,osphradia
