A snail's body is characterized by a soft body within a hard shell.

The basic divisions of its body are the head, the viscera, and the foot. The head contains the brain and mouth supports the tentacles, two of which also serve as eyestalks. The viscera (organs) are almost all within the shell. The foot that provides movement extends from the shell, but both it and the head are connected to the shell by muscles. These can draw the entire body back into the shell if needed.
