Thermodynamics
1-1C On a downhill road the potential energy of the bicyclist is being converted to kinetic energy, and thus
thebicyclist picks up speed. There is no creation of energy, and thus no violation of the conservation of
energy principle.
1-2C A car going uphillwithout the enginerunning would increase theenergy of the car, and thus it would be a
violation of the first law of thermodynamics. Therefore, this cannothappen. Using a level meter (a device with an air
bubblebetween two marks of a horizontal water tube) it can shown thatthe road that looks uphill to the eyeis
actually downhill.
1-3C There is no truth to his claim. It violates the second law of thermodynamics.
1-4C Classical thermodynamics is based on experimental observations whereas statistical thermodynamics is based
on the average behavior of largegroups of particles.

1-5C In this unit, the word light refers to thespeed of light. The light-year unit is then theproduct of a
velocity and time. Hence, this product forms a distance dimension and unit.
1-6C Pound-mass lbm is themass unitin English system whereas pound-force lbf is the force unit. One pound-force
is the force required to accelerate a mass of 32.174 lbm by 1 ft/s2. In other words, the weight of a 1-lbm mass at sea
level is 1 lbf.
1-7C There is no acceleration, thus the net forceis zero in both cases.
1-10 The acceleration of an aircraft is given in g’s. The net upward force acting on a man in the aircraft is to be determined.
Analysis From the Newton's second law, the force applied is

1-11 Gravitational acceleration g and thus theweight of bodies decreases with increasing elevation. The
percentreduction in the weight of an airplanecruising at 13,000 m is to be determined.
Properties Thegravitational acceleration g is given to be 9.807 m/s2 at sea level and 9.767 m/s2 at an altitudeof
13,000 m.
Analysis Weight is proportionalto thegravitational acceleration g, and thus
thepercentreduction in weight is equivalent to the percent reduction in thegravitational
acceleration, which is determined from
%Reduction in weight %Reduction in g
g 9.807 9.767
100 100 0.41%
g 9.807
Therefore, the airplaneand the peoplein it will weight 0.41% less at 13,000 m altitude.
Discussion Note that the weightloss at cruising altitudes is negligible.

1-15 A resistance heater is used to heat water to desired temperature. The amount of electricenergy used in kWh and
kJ are to be determined.
Analysis Theresistance heater consumes electric energy at a rate of 4 kW or 4 kJ/s. Then thetotal amountof electric
energy used in 3 hours becomes
Total energy = (Energy per unit time)(Timeinterval)
= (4 kW)(3 h)
= 12 kWh
Noting that 1 kWh = (1 kJ/s)(3600 s) = 3600
kJ, Total energy = (12 kWh)(3600
kJ/kWh)
= 43,200 kJ
Discussion Note kW is a unit for power whereas kWh is a unit for energy.

1-17 A gas tank is being filled with gasoline at a specified flow rate. Based on unit considerations alone, a relationis
to be obtained for the fillingtime.
Assumptions Gasoline is an incompressible substance and theflow rate is
constant.
Analysis The filling time depends on the volumeof the tank and thedischargerate of gasoline. Also, we know that the
unit of time is ‘seconds’. Therefore, the independent quantities should be arranged such that we end up with the unitof
seconds. Putting the given information into perspective, we have
t [s] « V [L], and V [L/s}
It is obvious that theonly way to end up with the unit“s” for time is to divide the tank volume by the discharge rate.
Therefore, the desired relation is

1-18C Carbon dioxide is generated by the combustion of fuel in the engine. Any system selected for this analysis
must include thefuel and air whileit is undergoing combustion. The volume that contains thisair-
fuel mixture within piston- cylinder device can be used for this purpose. One can also place the entire engine in a
control boundary and trace the system-surroundings interactions to determine the rate at which theengine
generates carbon dioxide.
1-19C The radiator should be analyzed as an open system since mass is crossing the boundaries of the system.
1-20C A can of soft drink should be analyzed as a closed system sinceno mass is crossing the boundaries of the system.
1-21C When analyzing the control volumeselected, we must account for all forms of water entering and leaving the
control volume. This includes all streams entering or leaving the lake, any rain falling on thelake, any water
evaporated to the air above thelake, any seepageto the underground earth, and any springs thatmay be feedingwater
to the lake.
1-22C In order to describe the state of the air, we need to know the valueof all its properties. Pressure,
temperature, and water content (i.e., relative humidity or dew point temperature) are commonly cited by weather
forecasters. But, other properties like wind speed and chemical composition (i.e., pollen count and smog index, for
example} are also important under certain circumstances.
Assuming that the air composition and velocity do not change and thatno pressure front motion occurs
during the day, the warming process is one of constant pressure (i.e., isobaric).
1-23C Intensive properties do not depend on the size (extent) of the systembut extensive properties do.

1-25C The number of moles of a substancein a system is directly proportionalto the number of atomic particles
contained
in the system. If we divide a systeminto smaller portions, each portion will contain fewer atomic particles than the
original system. The number of molesis therefore an extensive property.
1-26C Yes, becausetemperature and pressure are two independent properties and theair in an isolated room is a
simple compressible system.
1-27C A process during which a system remains almost in equilibrium at all times is called a quasi-
equilibriumprocess. Many engineering processes can be approximated as being quasi-equilibrium. The work output
of a device is maximum and the work input to a deviceis minimum when quasi-equilibrium processes are used instead
of nonquasi-equilibrium processes.
1-28C A process during which the temperatureremains constant is called isothermal; a process during which the
pressure remains constantis called isobaric; and a process during which thevolume remains constant is called isochoric.
1-29C The specific gravity, or relativedensity, and is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of some
standard substance at a specified temperature (usually water at 4°C, for which rH2O = 1000 kg/m3 ). That is, SG / H2O .

variation of density with elevation is to be obtained, thedensity at 7 km elevation is to be calculated, and the mass of
the atmosphere using the correlation is to be estimated.
Assumptions 1 Atmosphericair behaves as an ideal gas. 2 The earth is perfectly sphere with a radius of 6377 km, and

Analysis Using EES, (1) Define a trivial function rho = a+z in equation window, (2) select new parametrictable from
Tables, and typethe data in a two-column table, (3) select Plot and plot the data, and (4) select plot and click
on “curve fit” to get curve fit window. Then specify 2 nd order polynomial and enter/edit equation. The results are:
kg/m3, (or, r(z) = (1.20252 – 0.101674z + 0.0022375z2) 109 for the unit of
kg/km3)
where z is the verticaldistancefrom the earth surfaceat sea level. At z = 7 km, the equation would give r = 0.60 kg/m3.

Temperature
1-31C They are Celsius ( C) and kelvin (K) in the SI, and fahrenheit ( F) and rankine (R) in the Englishsystem.
1-32C Probably, but not necessarily. The operation of these two thermometers is based on the thermal expansion of a
fluid. If the thermal expansion coefficients of both fluids vary linearly with temperature, then both fluids will expand at
the same rate with temperature, and both thermometers will always give identical readings. Otherwise, the
two readings may deviate.
1-33C Two systems having different temperatures and energy contents are brought in contact. The direction of heat
transfer is to be determined.
Analysis Heat transfer occurs from warmer to cooler objects. Therefore, heat will be transferred from system B to
system A
until both systems reach the same temperature.

1-40C The pressurerelative to the atmospheric pressure is called the gage pressure, and thepressure relative to an
absolute vacuum is called absolute pressure.
1-41C The atmospheric pressure, which is the external pressure exerted on the skin, decreases with increasing
elevation. Therefore, the pressure is lower at higher elevations. As a result, the difference between the blood pressure
in the veins and the air pressure outside increases. This pressure imbalance may cause some thin-walled veins such as
the ones in thenoseto burst, causing bleeding. Theshortness of breath is caused by the lower air density at higher
elevations, and thus lower amount of oxygen per unit volume.
1-42C The blood vessels are more restricted when thearm is parallel to the body than when thearm is perpendicular
to the body. For a constantvolume of blood to be discharged by the heart, the blood pressure must increase to
overcome the increased resistance to flow.
1-43C No, the absolute pressure in a liquid of constant density does not doublewhen the depth is doubled. It is the
gage pressure that doubles when the depth is doubled.
1-44C The density of air at sea level is higher than the density of air on top of a high mountain. Therefore, the volume
flow rates of the two fans running at identicalspeeds willbe thesame, butthe mass flow rateof the fan at sea level
willbe higher.

1-60 A gas is contained in a verticalcylinder with a heavy piston. The pressure inside the cylinder and the effect of
volume change on pressure are to be determined.

(b) The volume changewill have no effect on the free-body diagram drawn in part (a), and therefore thepressure

Discussion If the gas behaves as an idealgas, the absolutetemperature doubles when the volumeis doubled at
constant pressure.

The cilia are chiefly arranged in two ventral bands, each extending nearly the
whole length of the body, and composed of a series of transverse rows of single
cilia; along these bands the hypoderm is thickened and more richly nucleated. The
sides of the head also bear numerous long cilia.
The scales are hollow processes of the cuticle overlapping from before
backwards. A ventral row lies between the ciliary bands; two series of alternating
dorsal rows lie on the back and sides of the animal, and in the hirsute species it is
these that are produced backward into bristles. A single large scale, the "frontal
shield," protects the head above and behind, but does not extend down to the
ventral surface. On either side of the head is a pair of flattened oval areas, the
"lateral fields." From between these on either side springs a tuft of motile sensory
hairs. Two pairs of similar tufts arise dorsally on the front margin of the frontal
shield, and a fourth pair spring from the ventral surface a little behind the mouth.
These hairs are distinguished from ordinary cilia by their length, and their insertion
on large nucleated cells receiving nerves; two pairs of similar hairs lie farther back
on the dorsal surface, one in the front of the neck, one near the base of the pedal
processes.
The muscles lie some in the body-wall, and some traverse the body-cavity; only
six pairs occur, simple, unstriated, and longitudinal. There are neither transverse
nor circular muscles.
The alimentary canal is very simple and nearly straight from mouth to anus; it
may be divided into pharynx, gullet, stomach, and rectum. The mouth is circular,
and looks forwards and a little downwards. From the mouth opens the pharynx, a
short chitinous tube, capable of eversion by being pushed forwards by the gullet; it
bears half-way down a circlet of curved hooks, which open out when it is everted;
within these are tooth-like thickenings.
The oesophagus or gullet is thick and muscular, extending through the whole of
the neck of the animal; its cavity, as well as the opening from the pharynx, is
triradiate like a leech-bite, but can be dilated by the action of the muscular walls,
inserted into a firm external cuticle; the internal wall is also cuticulised, not ciliated
as in Rotifers. The hinder end of the gullet is produced into a short, wide,
membranous funnel projecting freely into the midgut or stomach. The latter is
elongated and oval, composed of four rows of hexagonal cells, with large nuclei.
This is separated by a distinct constriction or sphincter from the short pear-shaped
rectum, which opens by a minute anus on the back just in front of the pedal
processes.
The food is chiefly organic débris; but Gastrotricha have been seen to attack large
Infusoria by nibbling, and to swallow the protoplasm as it exudes from the wound
in their prey.
The nervous system is chiefly composed of the large brain, a ganglion lying like a
saddle above and on the sides of the gullet, and in direct continuity with the nerve-
cells of the cephalic sense-hairs. A pair of dorsal nerve-trunks extend along the
whole length of the gullet. The sense-hairs described with the general integument
may be organs of external taste ("smell") or of touch. Eyes have been described in
several species; and though Zelinka has failed to verify this, I have myself seen a
pair of minute red eyes in the back of the head of an animal (probably a
Chaetonotus), whose hasty escape into a mass of débris prevented my
determining its species.
The kidneys are paired tubes lying at the sides of the front of the stomach, and
sending a simple loop into the neck. Each tube is much convoluted, and ends at
the one extremity in a long "flame-cell," like that of a Rotifer much drawn out, and
at the other by a minute pore on the outer side of the ventral row of scales.
Reproductive Organs.—Only the female is with certainty known to occur; and the
eggs, though recalling in their thick ornamented shell the fertilised winter eggs of
Rotifers, are probably unfertilised and parthenogenetic like the summer eggs. The
ovaries are two minute patches of cells lying at the junction of the stomach and
rectum. The eggs, as they mature and enlarge, press against the side and back of
the stomach, where they attain a length of one-third to one-half that of the mother.
The extrusion of the egg has not been observed; but it is laid in the angles of
weeds, the moulted shells of Entomostraca, etc., where its development may be
studied. The sculpture of the shell serves to anchor it if laid among weeds. When
hatched the head, trunk, and pedal processes are of the full adult size, all
subsequent growth being limited to the neck.
The function of testis has been ascribed by Ludwig to a minute granular organ
between the ovaries above the rectum; if this view be correct the Gastrotricha are
hermaphrodite.
The movements of the Gastrotricha are very elegant, recalling those of the long-
necked Ciliate Infusoria, like Amphileptus, Lacrymaria, etc., with the characteristic
exception that they always swim forwards; the grace of their movements being
due to the bending of the head and neck on the body. Those which are provided
with long motile bristles like Dasydetes, alternate their gliding with leaps, like the
springing Rotifers.
The Gastrotricha are divided into two sub-Orders—Euichthydina, with two pedal
appendages, containing the genera Ichthydium Ehr., Lepidoderma Zel.,
Chaetonotus Ehr., and Chaetura Metsch.; and the Apodina, with no pedal
appendages, comprising Dasydetes G. and Gossea Zel.
Kinorhyncha.
This Class and Order comprises but one genus, Echinoderes (Fig. 120), founded
in 1851 by Dujardin.[289] Reinhard's monograph[290] is the generally accepted
authority on this subject, and contains a full bibliography, with diagnoses of the
individual species, eighteen in number.
The animals of this group are found in shallow seas with muddy bottom, below
low-water mark, and feed on organic débris. They have been taken in the Black
Sea, Mediterranean, British Channel, and North Sea, and off the Canary Islands
(Lanzarote, Porto Pi, Palma di Mallorca). Their size varies from 0.86 mm. × 0.22
mm. in Echinoderes spinosus, to 0.14 mm. × 0.03 mm. in E. kowalevskii.[291]
As the name Echinoderes implies (Thorn-skin), the cuticle is produced into points,
bristles, or spines. The last segment frequently bears a large pair of these, which
have been compared, on the flimsiest grounds, with the furcal processes of
Crustacea and the perforated toes of Rotifers and Gastrotricha.
The proboscis when extruded has the form of a truncated cone, obscurely divided
into two segments, a ring of strong spines marking the boundary between them,
and a second double ring of spines surrounding the apex. The eversion is of the
type termed by Lankester pleurembolic or acrecbolic, the sides being first
withdrawn, the apex first extruded.
The muscles of Echinoderes are simple striated bands. Numerous bands lie
within and attached to the body-wall, extending its whole length; paired dorsi-
ventral muscles separate the intestine from the reproductive organ on either side,
and a complex system effect the movements of the proboscis.
Alimentary Canal.—The pore at the tip of the proboscis leads into a short thin-
walled tube, which is rarely evaginated; into the base of this tube projects the short
bluntly conical apex of the large ovoid muscular pharynx (or gullet?); this is lined
by an epithelial layer of nucleated protoplasm, which secretes a strong cuticle. The
stomach is a wide tube, somewhat dilated in each segment between the paired
dorsi-ventral muscles, and tapering behind to end in the terminal anus. Four
minute glands open at the junction of the pharynx and stomach.
Kidneys.—These are a pair of blind pear-shaped sacs, ciliated within (the only
case of ciliation in Echinoderes), lying in the eighth segment, and opening by the
taper ends right and left on the back of the ninth segment.
Nervous System.—All that has been clearly defined of this is a small brain or
ganglion lying dorsally at the junction of the pharynx and stomach. From two to
eight eye-spots have been described by earlier writers, but Reinhard was unable
to find them in the (distinct) species which he principally worked at, though he
noted their existence in the solitary specimen of the original species, E. dujardini,
which he obtained.
[Zelinka (Verh. D. Zool. Ges., 1894 and 1898), has given a preliminary
account of a new research on this group. The principal addition is the
discovery of a ventral nerve-cord, with a ganglionic dilatation in each
segment, lying in the ectoderm of the body-wall, as indeed do the brain and
nerve-collar. He divides the genus into two Orders according as the orifice of
the retracted fore-part of the body is slit-like or circular. The former
(Homalorhagae) retract the first two segments with the proboscis; they are
mud-dwellers, sluggish, eyeless: the latter group (Cyclorhagae) only retract
the first segment with the proboscis; they crawl among algae, and mostly
have paired pigmented eye-spots, each with a lens, imbedded in the brain.—

ARCHIANNELIDA, POLYCHAETA, AND MYZOSTOMARIA
BY
CHAPTER IX
Order I. Archiannelida.
The Archiannelida are very simple worms, but simplicity may be, and very
frequently is, the result of degeneration; and it is not always possible to determine
whether a simple animal is primitively, i.e. ancestrally simple, or whether it is
secondarily simplified. Hence the term Haplodrili has been employed by Professor
Lankester as the name of the group; a term which does not prejudge the question
as to whether or not the worms are "primitive." It is quite possible, and even
probable, that Dinophilus is ancestrally simple; whilst many features in Polygordius
appear to be the result of simplification. For this reason it would be well to
separate Dinophilus from the other two genera, on account of its much less
elaborate and more generalised structure,—so generalised, in fact, that the worm
is by some authorities placed amongst the Planarians; for the present, however,
the group Archiannelida may be regarded as containing three genera: Dinophilus,
Protodrilus, and Polygordius.[293]
Fig. 121.—Dinophilus taeniatus. (From Harmer.) The left figure represents the dorsal
surface of a young individual, × 76; the mouth and alimentary tract are seen by
transparency: p, prostomium, with two bands of cilia and a pair of eyes; a,
anus; t, tail; 1 to 5, the segments with ciliated bands. The right figure shows the
anatomy of the male, × 38: b, rectum; c, body-cavity; d, vas deferens; m,
muscular organ (pharynx); n', the first nephridium; oe, entrance to oesophagus;
p, penis; st, intestine (stomach); s.x, seminal vesicle (5th nephridium).
The animal consists of a broad prostomium, with a pair of eyes; and of a body,
distinctly constricted in immature specimens into five or six segments, followed by
a short conical tail. There are neither chaetae nor tentacles; locomotion is chiefly
effected by means of the bands of cilia which encircle the body in a regular
fashion, two bands round the head, and two round each segment in D. taeniatus;
in some species there is only a single band on each segment. The whole of the
ventral surface is covered with cilia, by the aid of which the animal probably
"creeps" along the weeds.
The alimentary canal is straight, and divisible into the regions shown in Fig. 121; a
muscular protrusible organ, which is a ventral outgrowth of the foregut, is
employed as a "sucker." The coelom is more or less obliterated (or ill developed).
The excretory system in the genus is varied: in some species, as in D. gigas, it is
stated to be constructed on the Planarian plan; in others, as in D. taeniatus, the
organs are definite nephridia. Of these tubes there are five pairs, the last pair in
the male serving as a seminal vesicle. Each nephridium is a ciliated tube, the
internal end of which lies in the body-cavity and appears to be blocked by a
ciliated tongue-shaped appendage. The first pair corresponds to the "larval
nephridia" of Trochosphere larvae.
The nervous system, which is in contact with the epidermis, consists of a brain in
the prostomium, and, on each side of the body, a ventral cord with five ganglia,
connected by transverse commissures in as many segments.
The sexes are separate, and are usually similar; the male of D. gyrociliatus is,
however, much smaller than the female. The generative organs occupy the greater
part of the body-cavity; in the male the testes communicate, by means of the pair
of seminal vesicles, with a median eversible apparatus. In the female the paired
ovaries communicate with a median sac which serves as a spermatheca.
The development is simple:[296] the worm itself is more like a larval Polychaete
than a full-grown worm. Dinophilus is an extremely interesting form, and it has
been suggested that, while still possessing certain Planarian characteristics, it
may be looked upon as closely resembling the ancestor from which the
Chaetopoda have arisen.
The nervous system lies entirely in the epidermis. The body-cavity is regularly
segmented by transverse septa passing from the body-wall to the intestinal wall.
The foregut presents a slight eversible portion in Polygordius, whilst in Protodrilus
it has a peculiar U-shaped muscular diverticulum on its ventral surface,
corresponding with the similar apparatus in Dinophilus; it is capable of eversion,
and aids the worm in burrowing, as well as in seizing and swallowing the mud. The
vascular system is represented by a dorsal and a ventral vessel, neither of which,
however, is contractile. In Protodrilus the dorsal vessel divides into two branches
in the first segment, each of which passes to the tip of the tentacle, and returning,
joins its fellow to form the ventral vessel. In some species of Polygordius there is a
pair of vessels connecting the dorsal and ventral vessels in every segment, but no
vessel to the tentacle. The blood is colourless in some species of Polygordius, but
may be yellow (P. neapolitanus), red (P. lacteus), or green (P. erythrophthalmus).
Paired nephridia, with distinct funnels, occur regularly throughout the body.
The head consists of a preoral portion above the mouth, the "prostomium," and a
postoral region surrounding the mouth, the "peristomium" (Fig. 125). The
prostomium varies in shape in different species of Nereis; but it always carries on
its dorsal surface two pairs of eyes. From its narrower anterior end there arises a
pair of short, somewhat conical, sensory processes known as the "prostomial
tentacles." A second pair of processes springs from the under surface, and rather
to the side of the prostomium; these are known as the "palps," and in Nereis are
much more conspicuous than the tentacles; each is composed of two parts, a
large basal piece and a smaller terminal joint, capable of being withdrawn into the
former. The palps are highly muscular, and though they are sensory organs, act
also as great lateral lips.

palp in A, entrance to pharynx in B; J, jaw; T, tentacle; I, peristomium; II, foot of
apparent second segment.
The Tail.—As the most anterior segment is perforated by the mouth, and is
modified as described above, so the last or anal segment, which carries the anus,
differs from the rest. It is more or less elongated, cylindrical, and without parapodia
or chaetae. It retains, however, its pair of ventral cirri, which are very long.
The epidermis, which forms the outer part of the body-wall, consists of a single
layer of cells, covered externally by a thin, tough cuticle. The latter is usually
stated to consist of the chemical substance known as chitin, but since the cuticle
differs from true chitin by dissolving in caustic potash after a time, Eisig[300] has
suggested that its substance is merely a stage in the formation of chitin. The
epidermis contains gland-cells, which are especially abundant on the lobes of the
parapodia. Below the epidermis lies the circular coat of muscles by whose
contraction the worm diminishes its diameter: it is interrupted on each side at the
junction of the parapodium with the body. Deeper still lie the longitudinal muscles,
which form four great bundles, two dorsal, separated by the insertion of a small
mesentery and dorsal blood-vessel, and two ventral bundles separated in the
middle line by the nerve-cords. These longitudinal muscles, by their contraction,
bend the worm from side to side, and are continuous from segment to segment. A
very characteristic muscle, present in all the Polychaeta, is an obliquely transverse
sheet of fibres passing from the body-wall at the side of the nerve-cord to the
parapodium, where it spreads out and serves to move the parapodium (Fig. 124).
All these muscles consist of smooth fibres, as in the earthworm.
The alimentary canal may be divided into the following four regions:—(1) buccal
or eversible region, (2) pharynx, carrying the great jaws, (3) oesophagus, (4)
intestine.
The first two regions constitute an "introvert" (Lankester[301]). When fully everted
the whole of the buccal region is turned inside out, and the terminal aperture leads
directly into the pharynx, which is not everted but merely protruded. Throughout
the following chapters the word "buccal" region is used for that part—if any—which
is thus everted (Figs. 125, 126).
Both the buccal and pharyngeal regions are wrapped round by several coats of
muscle, to form apparently a single muscular organ (Fig. 127, sh), which occupies
about eight segments in a condition of complete introversion. The septa are
absent from the anterior part of the body.
The cavity of the pharynx is narrow and the walls thick and muscular; each side
wall carries a large, dark, chitinous "jaw" (Fig. 127, J), which is hollow at the base,
into which the muscles serving to move it are inserted, whilst the apex is solid,
curved, and more or less notched. These two great jaws are used not only for
tearing prey, but for seizing it; for when the pharynx is entirely protruded the two
jaws are wide apart, and when retraction takes place they come together and
grasp the prey.
Fig. 127.—Nereis, laid open by removal of the dorsal body-wall. br, Cerebral
ganglion, from which three pairs of nerves are represented as arising; a pair to
the tentacles, a pair to the palps, and a pair (con) passing one on each side of

removal of the dorsal wall of the buccal region (Buc); pgn, the paragnaths in its

oesophagus; gl, its glands; st, stomach; int, intestine; Sept, septum; d.v, dorsal
blood trunk; p.v, perivisceral branches, one pair in each segment; P, palp; t,

parapodium which belongs to the third true, but second apparent, segment;
cir.m, circular muscular coat; lg.m, longitudinal muscular coat of the body-wall.
The coelomic fluid, which fills the general body-cavity, is colourless, and contains
amoeboid corpuscles or "leucocytes." It corresponds to the lymph of Vertebrates,
being nutritive in function, in that it conveys absorbed material from the wall of the
intestine to the organs of the body, and at the same time removes any waste
substances from these organs; these waste substances contain nitrogen, and are
ultimately removed by the nephridia. In Ophelia many of the corpuscles contain a
curious dumb-bell-shaped rod of chitin, and it has been shown[306] that this
substance is a highly complex form of excretory material,—more complex than
guanin, for instance, which exists in the corpuscles of the Capitelliformia.
Excretion, in the strict sense of the word, is carried out by the cells forming the
wall of the tube; they remove waste materials from the blood distributed over the
surface of the organ. But, in addition, there is a removal from the coelom, by
means of the funnel, of any dead or dying coelomic corpuscles which in their turn
have eaten up or otherwise destroyed foreign bodies (such as Bacteria, etc.) that
may have entered the animal.
In Nereis the apparently single ganglion in each segment really consists of two
halves, and the apparently single cord which traverses the whole length of the
body consists of two closely apposed cords. In some worms, such as Serpulidae,
the two cords are more or less widely separated, and the two ganglia of each
segment are thus distinct, and connected by a transverse commissure. In Nereis,
as well as in many other Polychaeta, the nerve-cords lie within the body-wall, but
in other cases they lie in the epidermis, as they do in Archiannelida.
The visceral nervous system, supplying the muscles of the pharynx, is frequently
highly developed. In Nereis it arises on each side by two roots, one from the brain,
the second from the circum-buccal commissure.

The organs of sense in Nereis are eyes, tentacles, palps, and cirri. The four
eyes, which rest upon the brain, have the structure represented in Fig. 130. The
retina consists of a single layer of cells containing pigment; each cell is drawn out
peripherally into a nerve-fibre, whilst centrally it forms a cuticular product—the
"rod" (h). The edges of the retina are continuous with the surrounding epidermis,
and the cup thus formed remains widely opened to the cuticle in a few
Polychaetes, e.g. Autolytus, and in the young of Nereis, but more usually it has the
relations represented in the figure. The lens is produced by the retinal cells
(according to Andrews[310]), and is in some cases (Eunice, Amphinome)
continuous with the cuticle. It appears to be composed in other cases
(Lepidonotus) of continuations of the retinal rods. The structure of the other sense
organs indicates their adaptation to a tactile function; in each case a nerve
traverses the axis of the organ, and the nerve-fibrils terminate in sensory cells.
Very probably the palps have a certain power of testing the food—a combination
of the senses of taste and smell.
The Generative System.—In all the Polychaeta, with very few exceptions, the
sexes are separate; and the reproductive cells—ova and spermatozoa—are
produced at certain seasons of the year by the rapid proliferation and modification
of coelomic epithelial cells surrounding the blood-vessels in the parapodium and
its immediate neighbourhood. The sexual cells remain in the coelom till they are
ripe.
The egg-cells become filled with yolk globules; a vitelline membrane is present,
and an outer coat of albuminous material. It is doubtful by what means these
sexual cells are discharged in Nereis. There is some evidence that the "dorsal
ciliated organ" may act as a genital duct. In some other worms the nephridia serve
this purpose, whilst in others a rupture of the body-wall allows the products to
escape into the sea. According to Wistinghausen,[311] at the time of discharge the
females of Nereis dumerilii become surrounded by a kind of gelatinous tube
formed from a secretion of the parapodial glands, and into this tube the ova are
discharged, and arranged in a single layer round its wall.
The common species Nereis diversicolor is viviparous. In a large number of
species of Nereis the sexually-mature individuals undergo very marked changes in
various parts of their body, so that they differ very greatly from the immature
individuals.
These changes resulting in the "heteronereid" condition will be dealt with at some
length in Chap. X. p. 276. The larvae of Polychaetes and other facts connected
with reproduction are described in the same chapter.
CHAPTER X
The Polychaeta are marine worms whose bodies are usually elongated and
cylindrical; they either lead a free life, swimming in the open sea, or crawling along
the bottom; or they pass their life in burrows or definite tubes of various kinds.
The "head" of the worm generally carries eyes, and frequently more or less
elongated tactile organs, the "tentacles" dorsally and "palps" ventrally. The foregut
is frequently provided with a masticating apparatus in its anterior region, which is
capable of protrusion; but this apparatus is absent in many burrowing and
tubicolous forms. The sexes are separate, so that there is no such complicated
system of generative organs as occurs in the Oligochaeta. The nephridia usually
act as genital ducts. In the majority of cases the egg develops into a larva, the
"Trochosphere," which leads a free life and undergoes a greater or less
metamorphosis into the adult condition.
