  1.  Phylum Annelida

  2. What Is an Annelid? What Is an Annelid? Annelids are worms with segmented bodies. They have a true coelom that is lined with tissue derived from mesoderm.

  3. What Is an Annelid? Three Germ Layers of an Annelid

  4. What Is an Annelid? The body of an annelid is divided into segments. Each segment is separated by septum, which are internal walls between each segment.

  5. What Is an Annelid? Body segments may carry eyes, antennae, other sense organs, or be specialized for functions such as respiration. Bristles called setae may be attached to each segment. Annelids have a tube-within-a-tube digestive tract that food passes through from the mouth to the anus.

  6. Form and Function in Annelids Form and Function in Annelids Annelids have complex organ systems. Many of these systems are unique because of the segmented body plan of this group.

  7. Form and Function in Annelids Feeding and Digestion In carnivorous species, the pharynx usually holds two or more sharp jaws that are used to attack prey. -Leeches Annelids that feed on decaying vegetation have a pharynx covered with sticky mucus. -Earthworms

  8. Form and Function in Annelids In earthworms, the pharynx pumps food and soil into the esophagus. The food then moves through the crop, where it can be stored. It then moves through the gizzard, where it is ground into smaller pieces.

  9. Form and Function in Annelids Circulation  Annelids typically have a closed circulatory system, in which blood is contained within a network of blood vessels.

  10. Form and Function in Annelids Respiration  Aquatic annelids often breathe through gills. Land-dwelling annelids take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide through their moist skin. Diffusion

  11. Form and Function in Annelids Nephridia are excretory organs that filter fluid in the coelom. Nephridia

  12. Form and Function in Annelids Response   Most annelids have a well-developed nervous system consisting of a brain and several nerve cords. Brain Ganglia

  13. Form and Function in Annelids Movement   Annelids have two groups of body muscles that function as part of a hydrostatic skeleton. Longitudinal muscles Circular muscles

  14. Form and Function in Annelids Reproduction    Most annelids reproduce sexually. Earthworms are hermaphrodites. Two worms attach to each other, exchange sperm, and then store the sperm in special sacs.

  15. Form and Function in Annelids A clitellum is a band of thickened, specialized segments. After eggs are fertilized in the ring, the ring slips off the worm's body and forms a protective cocoon. Young worms hatch weeks later. mating

  16. Groups of Annelids Groups of Annelids Annelids are divided into three classes oligochaetes leeches polychaetes

  17. Groups of Annelids Oligochaetes Oligochaetes contains earthworms and their relatives. Oligochaetes typically have streamlined bodies and relatively few setae compared to polychaetes. Most oligochaetes live in soil or fresh water.

  18. Groups of Annelids Leeches The class Hirudinea contains the leeches. Leeches are typically external parasites that suck the blood and body fluids of their host.

  19. Groups of Annelids Polychaetes Polychaetes are marine annelids that have paired, paddlelike appendages tipped with setae. The setae are brushlike structures on the worm.
