Question

How does the rippling motion takes place in snail?

Answer 1

• The snail propels themselves by generating a series of muscular pulses on their foot.
• These waves of muscular relaxations and contractions start at the foot and move towards the entire body.
• The wave produces enough energy for the snail to move forward.
• The snail also releases a slippery slime, which coats the ground under the snail and this helps to move along easily.
