How fast do snails move?
The word snail is loosely used for almost all members of the molluscan class Gastropoda which have coiled shells in the adult stage. (Those snails which do not have a shell or only a very small shell are usually called slugs.) Most snails move by gliding along on their muscular foot, which is lubricated with mucus. This motion is powered by succeeding waves of muscular contraction which move down the undersurface of the foot. This muscular action is clearly visible when a snail is crawling on the glass of a window or aquarium. Snails move at a proverbially low speed (1 mm/s is a typical speed]). They produce mucus in order to aid locomotion by reducing friction, and the mucus also helps reduce the snail's risk of mechanical injury from sharp objects.
How does sneezing and coughing protect the body from viruses?
They help to expel the viruses caught in the respiratory mucus.
Where did snails come from?
Mommy and daddy snails.
How do breathing passages help keep pathogens out of the body?
they make you sneeze or cough and when you do that all of the pathogens stay out of your body - Rudo575 pathogens get stuck in mucus or small hair.
Describe how mucus plays a role in the respiratory system?
mucus in the stomach coats the stomach walls to protect against the stomach acid. Mucus also coats some of the food to allow it to slide through the digestion track easier. Someone will have to talk about the lungs I knew there was moisture in the lungs but not mucus
