No, snails do not breathe through gills. They breathe through a lung-like structure called a pallial lung, which allows them to extract oxygen from the air. Some species of aquatic snails may have gills, but they still primarily rely on the pallial lung for respiration.

What organs help young amphibians use to breathe?
Young amphibians mainly use their skin and gills to breathe. Their skin is thin and moist, allowing oxygen to pass through directly into their bloodstream. Gills are present in aquatic species and help them extract oxygen from water. As they mature, they develop lungs for breathing air.

Babies in the womb receive oxygen through the umbilical cord and do not breathe in the traditional sense. Once born, humans require air to breathe as our lungs cannot extract oxygen from water like gills can in aquatic animals.
What is Animal Respiration?
Animal respiration is the process by which animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This typically involves the exchange of gases in specialized respiratory organs such as lungs, gills, or tracheal systems, depending on the type of animal. The oxygen taken in during respiration is used to produce energy through cellular respiration.
