How does an underwater snail breathe?

Answer 1

Sea animals breathe through their gills,which are found under the gill cover.Water enters the animals's mouth and dissolved oxygen will flow all the way into the animal's blood stream while water that does not contain any oxygen will be flowing out of the gills.

Answer 2

They just do, ok? Know da easy facts, its not that hard, fish have gills so they can "breathe", and dolphins go up to the surface to breath thru that blowhole, but they can stay under water for a long time without breathing. god its not dat hard

Answer 3

With gills, or if they're small enough, through their skin (oxygen can just reach all parts of an animal if it's small enough). Most sea creatures can gain oxygen from the water - there's enough of it. Dolphins, whales and seals and such, however, have adapted to life on land before returning to the water and need to really breathe air. Some sea turtles have developed a mechanism of breathing water, though, through special tissue in their hindgut (butt)!

Answer 4

some snails have lungs which make it so that they will need air to breath and preferably have land to travel on, but others have gills so that makes it so that they don't need any air and prefer to stay in the water at all times. keep in mind that snails do have different breathing habits just so that you don't drown them or deprive them of there water. :)

Answer 5

Underwater snails breathe through gills, which are specialized structures that extract oxygen from water. The snail draws water in through a siphon, and the gills extract oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide back into the water.

Answer 6

The same way as shallow water creatures. There is still oxygen in the deep sea.

Answer 7

Through gills in the neck\throat area
