Phylum Annelida

Explore the characteristics and taxonomy of Phylum Annelida, including their protostomia nature, metamerism, and various classes such as Polychaeta, Oligochaeta, and Hirudinea. Learn about their integument, skeletal, muscle, digestive, excretory, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Includes detailed dissections of Nereis, Aphrodita, Arenicola, Chaetopterus, Amphitrite, Lumbricus, and Hirudo.

Presentation Transcript

  1. PhylumAnnelida

  2. Phylum Annelida • Characteristics • Protostomia, eucoelomates • Metamerism (= unspecialized segmentation) • In the Classes: • Parapodia • Clitellium

  3. Systems • Integument- epidermis is one cell layer with mucous gland that secrete a moist cuticle. • Skeletal -hydrostatic (using coelom) • Muscle- longitudinal and circular muscles Each segments muscles are independent of the other segments. • Digestive- complete, complex, with typhlosole for absorption and chloragogen cells acting as digestive gland and excretory cells.

  4. Systems (continue) • Excretory- a pair of nephridia per segment. • Respiratory -through skin, some through parapodia; tubeworms have gills. • Circulatory- closed system, use hemoglobin as oxygen carrier. • Nervous- dorsal brain; ventral, double, solid nerve cord, with gangliain each segment. • Endocrine- hormones secreted by nervous system. • Reproductive- • Dioecious in Polychaeta; no special organs, posterior end becomes gonads. • Monoecious in Oligochaeta and Hirudinea; Clitellium.

  5. Annelida Taxonomy Click on any term that is underlined to go to that slide • Phylum Annelida (an-nel-i-da) • Class Polychaeta (poly-key-ta) • Nereis, Aphrodita, Chaetopterus, Arenicola, Amphitrite • Class Oligochaeta (ol-e-go-key-ta) • Lumbricus, Tubifex • Class Hirudinea (hi-ru-din-e-a) • Hirudo, leech • Earthworm dissection
