Snails have a water vascular systems that help support, and distribute nutrients. Snails can 'sleep' for up to 5 years. Snails have a complex structure called a Radula: a elongated conglomeration of minute teeth-like projections aligned together on either side of the snail's mouth that undulate together creating an abrasive action the scrapes food particles into its gullet.
