the division of their bodies into rings or segments
body segmented into rings
segmented worms
the division of the body into compartments by regularly repeated walls (septa) and the repetitive arrangement of organs and organ systems
annelids and nematodes
a true coelom, fully lined with a layer of mesodermal epithilium called the peritoneum
annelids
small bristle-like appendages, most annelids have them
oligochaeta polychaeta hirudinea archiannelida
nephridia
remove fluids and wastes from both tissue fluids and blood in annelids
septum, tubules, nephrostome, capillaries, and nephridopore
wet
hemoglobin
coelomic fluid moved around by musculature contractions by a closed circulatory system
5 pairs surround the esophagus, look like black rings
ventral blood vessel (flows posteriorly), dorsal blood vessel (flows anteriorly), sub neural blood vessel, and nephridia
mate by attaching at their citella and exchanging sperm, received sperm cells > sperm receptacles while the clitellum secretes a mucous cocoon > cocoon slides along picking up the eggs from the ovaries and stored sperm, the cocoon slips off the worms head and embryos develop in the cocoon
9
seminal receptacles, seminal vesicles, male genital pore or gonophores, vas defrens, or female genital pore or gonophores, ovaries, and small passageways
annelid, nereis sp.
carnivores, have parapodia with setae, jaws, well developed head with tentacles
jaws, mouth, muscular pharynx, esophagus, next to esophagus is esophageal caeca, stomach-intestine
parapodia have a large surface area and are vascularized and major sites of gas exchange
primitive gills
closed respiratory system
coelomate
