How fast do snails move?
The word snail is loosely used for almost all members of the molluscan class Gastropoda which have coiled shells in the adult stage. (Those snails which do not have a shell or only a very small shell are usually called slugs.) Most snails move by gliding along on their muscular foot, which is lubricated with mucus. This motion is powered by succeeding waves of muscular contraction which move down the undersurface of the foot. This muscular action is clearly visible when a snail is crawling on the glass of a window or aquarium. Snails move at a proverbially low speed (1 mm/s is a typical speed]). They produce mucus in order to aid locomotion by reducing friction, and the mucus also helps reduce the snail's risk of mechanical injury from sharp objects.
How does sneezing and coughing protect the body from viruses?
They help to expel the viruses caught in the respiratory mucus.
Where did snails come from?
Mommy and daddy snails.
How do breathing passages help keep pathogens out of the body?
they make you sneeze or cough and when you do that all of the pathogens stay out of your body - Rudo575 pathogens get stuck in mucus or small hair.
Describe how mucus plays a role in the respiratory system?
mucus in the stomach coats the stomach walls to protect against the stomach acid. Mucus also coats some of the food to allow it to slide through the digestion track easier. Someone will have to talk about the lungs I knew there was moisture in the lungs but not mucus
Do snails live underwater, and if so, what are some of the adaptations they have to survive in this environment?
Yes, some snails can live underwater. They have adaptations like gills for breathing, a hard shell for protection, and a slimy mucus layer to help them move and stay moist.
Why do snails leave a slime trail?
Snails leave a slime trail because of their limited movement. Snails are very small creatures, and coupled with the wait of their shell, they do not move very fast. Snails leave a trail of mucus, not slime (well i guess it counts as slime..:) in order to help them slip along faster. They use it to glide along on, and it helps them stick so they can hang upside down.
What moves back and forth to move mucus out of the sinuses and back of the nose?
Cilia are hair-like structures that move back and forth to help move mucus out of the sinuses and back of the nose. They help to clear the airways by sweeping mucus and debris towards the throat where it can be swallowed or expelled.
How do snails move?
Snails move by contracting its body muscles and move along the surface with this gooey thing called "slime".It moves along the surface so smoothly and it leaves a little trail behind,so it doesn't have any problem traveling.That is how the snail generate its power of motion and across the surface like that.
What have a foot that secretes mucus that it slide along?
snails and slugs
Are the cells that line the bronchi covered with cilia to help move mucous or mucus out of the lungs?
They move 'mucus' and are cells that make up a 'mucous' membrane. Mucus is a noun, the thing that is secreted, and mucous is an adjective describing the quality of the thing that makes the mucus.
How do you make snails?
Get to snails [same breed] put them in a tank with wet soil plenty of greens and in 1-2 week's they will mate and lay eggs
Do snails move faster on rough surfaces or smooth surfaces?
Snails move faster on rough objects as the sticky liquid they use for locomotion gets good friction and helps it to move. But on rough surfaces, the frictional force is much less and the snail can hardly move.
What are snails trails made out of?
Snail trails, also known as slime trails, are made of mucus secreted by the snail's foot glands. This mucus helps the snail move smoothly across surfaces by reducing friction and helping them adhere to the ground.
Is snail crawl or walk?
If you are asking if snails crawl or walk they do neither. They slide on mucus.
How do snails travel from place to place?
snails slide on there foot using a sticky mucus to travel it may take a long time depending on where they are going.
What is the scientific name for the trail left by a snail?
The scientific name for the trail left by a snail is "mucus trail." Snails produce mucus to aid in locomotion and protect themselves from rough surfaces.
