They use it mainly for locomotion. The visceral mass involves the organs for circulation, digestion and other important processes in living organism. The visceral mass has two external flaps of tissue called as the mantle. It secretes calcerous shell and encloses a mantle cavity.

They have 4 body parts that are head and foot, shell, visceral mass and mantle. The main two parts are the head and foot and visceral mass.
