The body structures of a snail are: shell, antennae, eyes, mouth, and feet.
1, shell
The snail has a spiral shell on its back, when it encounters danger, it will be able to shrink its own body as the shell, play a protective role. In winter, the snail also secretes a mucus that dries to form a film that seals the opening of the shell, thus better maintaining the humidity inside the shell.
2, tentacles and eyes
The snail has two pairs of tentacles on its head, one long and one short, and there are eyes on the longer pair located on top of the head. The snail has poor eyesight and therefore needs the tentacles to sense its surroundings. When it crawls on the ground, it will stretch out its tentacles to look around, and when it touches an obstacle, it will change the direction of its original movement. The small tentacles have a sense of smell, which can be utilized to help find food.
3. Mouth
The snail has a mouth underneath its tentacles. Snails have the most teeth of any animal on earth. In the snail's mouth there is a jagged tongue, which is densely distributed with tiny teeth, according to statistics there are about 26,000 teeth! This structure is called the "tongue". When eating, the tongue acts as a file to grind up food and deliver it to the stomach.
4, foot
The snail's abdomen has a wide gastropod, the snail crawled on the ground to see it left behind white mucus, which is the gastropod secretion. The mucus can play a lubricating role to help the snail crawl, to avoid direct friction between the abdominal feet and the ground and injury.
