Phylum Annelida
~ 9000 species Segmentation highly developed
Mesodermal blocks, each with own coelom Septa between segments

Phylum Annelida
Hydrostatic skeleton
Fluid pressure in coelom provides support &

locomotion Circular muscles Longitudinal muscles Peristaltic locomotion

Annelida.ppt

Phylum Annelida
Setae (bristles) of chitin
anchors for earthworm paddles for polychaete Enlarged as jaws in leeches, some polychaetes

Annelida.ppt

Phylum Annelida
Closed circulatory system
Multiple hearts Hemoglobin not in

blood cells

reddish-pink color

Phylum Annelida
Central nervous system
Dorsal brain Pair of nerves on sides

of esophagus Paired ventral nerve cords with paired ganglia in each segment Transverse nerves connect ganglia in each segment

Phylum Annelida
Class Polychaetes
many setae, clusters

with 20+ setae parapodia

Phylum Annelida- Class Polychaeta: parapodium w/ setae & acicula. Parapodia are used for locomotion, sensory & respiration.

Phylum Annelida- Class Polychaeta. Polychaete dissection. Note esophageal caeca and muscular pharynx. Remember, polychaete worms have parapodia (which look like fins)
