Vineyard Snail

Function and Applications

Helix pomatia L., enlarged approx. 6 times, in SOMSO-Plast®. After Christian Groß, Head of Biology Department (retired). The approx. 60 cm. long model is that of a crawling, edible snail. The right view shows the shell, the left, the opened snail. The lower portion of the shell as well as parts of the intestinal sac, the lungs and foot muscles are partly removed to show all important internal organs. The part lying between throat and small intestine of the intestinal canal can be removed and the cross genital apparatus can be seen completely. Separates into 4 parts. On a green base.
