Snails respire primarily through a specialized respiratory structure called the pallial cavity, which functions similarly to a lung in air-breathing species. In aquatic snails, respiration occurs through gills located within this cavity. They take in oxygen from the surrounding water or air, and carbon dioxide is expelled as a waste product. This process allows snails to efficiently exchange gases necessary for their survival.
