Class Cephalopoda consists of the most advanced forms of invertebrates and mollusks, represented by the cuttlefish, the squid and the octopus. A less advanced member is the chambered nautilus. The development of the cephalopods required several modification of the less advanced mollusks (e.g. gastropods) and a long period of time. The heavy muscular foot of the lower mollusks has been modified into eight arm, siphons and two tentacles (in the cuttlefish and squid). The protective outer shell nolonger covers the animal, leaving the mantle as the outer covering. Suction cup-like structures are found under each arm and tentacle of the animal. Neuropoisons are present in many of the squid and some octopus, that paralyze fish and crustaceans. The development of pair of image-seeing eyes has occurrred, allowing the animals to hunt by sight and watch for their enemies. An ink sac is used during an escape, producing a cloud of grape juice colored pigment to confuse an enemy. Color changes occur by the use of pigment sacs located beneath the mantle. The mimicking of spines and other shapes can be accomplished by folding the mantle, through the use of muscles in the mantle. Examples of the squid, octopus, cuttlefish and chambered nautilus are shown below.

Squid and octopus are cephalopods. This is a kind of animal where the arms (or feet) come straight out of the head. The mouth can be found in the middle of the circle of arms. If you look at a squid from the side, with the arms sticking out one direction and the pointy head sticking in the other, then the mouth will be roughly in the middle. Squid and octopus have a hard beak that they bite with.

The Esophagus is a tube which connects the mouth and stomach. Food passes through here.

The function of the gills in a squid is for respiration. They serve the same purpose as the lungs that are found in mammals.
