| | Wonders of the Seas: All about Mollusks |
 | | Mollusks have well developed body organs (nervous system, circulatory system, respiratory system, etc.) but lack body segmentation. | | | The cephalopods may not seem very closely related to the other mollusks, but physiologically, they are similar in internal construction. | | | In general, mollusks have 3 body regions: a head, a visceral mass, and a "foot." The head contains the sense organs and "brain," while the visceral mass contains the internal organs. |

| | COA :: Mollusckque - Mollusk vs Mollusc |
| | The word "mollusk" probably was coined in response to growing acceptance of Cuvier's classification as set forth in his great work Regnè Animal (1817) which expanded the concept of "Mollusca" to include the bivalves and gastropods with the cephalopods. | | | The word is polymorphic, with variants "mollusk" and "mollusc," the latter being less common initially. | | | Attempting as usual to avoid undocumented opinions, Dr. Barry Roth commented that to properly understand the significance of the use of "mollusk" or "mollusc," we need more information on the distribution of the two morphs in time and space. |
