Phylum Annelida (Chapter 27.3) Please set up your notebook for Cornell Notes
Annelids • Characteristics • Body divided into segments separated by walls called septa • Have a coelom coelomates • Some worms have bristles called setae attached to each segment • Have mouth and anus, digestive tract • Triploblastic three germ layers
Form and Function • Feeding and digestion • Filter feeders, predators, decomposers • Have a pharynx • Pharynx has jaws in carnivores • Pharynx covered in sticky mucus in decomposers • Pharynx pumps food and soil into esophagus • Crop – stores food • Gizzard – grinds food into smaller pieces • Food absorbed in intestines
Circulation • Annelids have a closed circulatory systems • Two major blood vessels • No heart – dorsal blood vessel contract and circulates blood • Respiration • Aquatic annelids breathe using gills feathery structures used to exchange gases underwater • Land dwelling annelids diffuse gases through moist skin
Excretion • Digestive waste passes out of the anus • Nitrogenous waste is excreted through the nephridia organs that filter fluid in coelom • Response • Most annelids have a brain and several nerve cords • Marine annelids have many sensory adaptations • Sensory tentacles, chemical receptors, statocysts, eyes
Movement • Two major groups of muscles • Longitudinal contract to make the worm shorter and fatter • Circular contract to make worm longer and thinner • Marine annelids have paddle-like appendages called parapodia on each segment used for swimming and crawling
Reproduction • Most annelids reproduce sexually • Some have separate sexes, and external fertilization • Others are hermaphroditic but do not fertilize their own eggs • Two worms attach to each other, exchange sperm and store for later • When eggs are ready, the clitellum secretes a thick mucus ring where eggs and sperm are deposited • Ring slips off and provides a cocoon for developing larva • Some annelids reproduce asexually through budding
Classes of annelids • Class Oligochaeta • Stream-lined bodies with very few setae • Mostly live in soil and fresh water • Earthworms and tubifex worms
Class Hirudinea • External parasites that suck blood and body fluids • Leeches • Live in moist habitats in tropical countries • Have powerful suckers at both ends • Posterior attachment • Anterior Eating
Class Polychaeta • Marine annelids w/ paired, paddle-like appendages that have setae on the tip • Sandworms, blood worms • Live in cracks in coral reefs, in sand and mud and open water
