eucoelomate
annelida have true segmentation
moist enivronment
surface for gas exchange as long as the organism is in a
body wall
breathing organ à surface for gas exchange as long as the organism is in a moist environment
annuli
segments are externally marked with circular rings called
freshwater, marine, earth
enivronment of phylum annelida
Polychaeta, Clitellata
2 major classes of Phylum annelida
nervous, excretory & circulatory systems
each segments or somite of annelids has its own ___systems
Tripoblastic
germ layers of annelida
bilateral symmetry
annelids symmetry
setae
fine, hard, bristle-like structures for swimming (marine species)
Parapodia
used for gas exchange & feeding
5 hearts
how many hearts does annelids have
hemoglobin
pigment present in annelids blood
single-loop system
circulatory system used in annelids because the blood travels only in one direction
chlorocruorin
some species have respiratory pigment in their blood plasma
deposit feeders
lie in the bottom & extract organic matter from sediments or water
herbivores, scavengers, deposit feeder
feeding behaviour of annelids
Hermaphroditic
(both male & female reproductive organs present) in general
copulation, exchange of sperm
sexual reproduction in annelids
Clitellum
hat secrets mucus (protects eggs & sperms from drying out)
true
some annelids dioecious
cerebral ganglia (simple brain) & double ventral nerve cords
nervous system of annelids
Nuchal orgnas and statocysts
are present in the head region for detecting touch & tactile movements
eyes, photoreceptors
sense organs of annelids
nephridia
excretory system of annelids that are called little kidneys” in each segment
nephiridia
collects wastes from the coelom & excretes it through the body wall
Class polychaeta
free-moving, gonochoristic, has parapodia, no clitellum, most abundant class
Nereis virens
sandworms
Sabella sp.
tube worms
Class clitellata
leech, earthworms
Class Clitellata
has clitellum, hermaphroditic, terrestrial and freshwater
few
oligo means
Lumbricus terrestris
earthworm that contributes to soil fertility
parapodia and setae absent
Hirudinae is absent with what
34, 15 in some
numbers of segment in Hirudnea
internally
mode of copulation of Hirudinea
anterior and posterioir sucker
Hirudinea move using their
leech jabs packet of sperm or spermatophore
some lack penis in Hirudinea what are their mode of reproduction
Hirudo medicinalis
(Amazonian leech) used in medicine!
hirudin extract
extract from the leech that is a promising anticlotting medicine or local anesthetic
leeche's saliva
where is hirudin extract from
Vermiculture
The casting (feces) of earthworms can be used as fertilizers in the process called
