Study Notes

Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Annelida

  • Animals in this phylum are known as segmented worms.
  • They are bilaterally symmetrical and triploblastic.
  • Annelids have a true coelom.
  • Their bodies are metamerically segmented, increasing flexibility and movement.

Classes of Annelida

  • Class Oligochaeta:
    • Lack parapodia.
    • Possess few setae per segment.
    • Includes earthworms (e.g., Allolobophora caliginosa).
    • Clitellum present, important for reproduction.
  • Class Polychaeta:
    • Have parapodia.
    • Possess many setae arranged in bundles on parapodia.
    • Clitellum absent.
    • Includes sandworms.
  • Class Hirudinea (Leeches):
    • Lack parapodia.
    • Lack setae.
    • Have well-developed suckers for attachment.
    • Clitellum present only during the breeding season.

Characteristics of Annelids / Earthworms

  • Locomotion: Use chitinous setae or muscular parapodia.
  • Digestion: Complete digestive system with a mouth and anus.
  • Circulation: Closed circulatory system.
  • Nervous system: Well-developed nervous system.
  • Excretion: Excretory system composed of nephridia, nearly a pair in each segment.
  • Respiration: Respiration mainly through diffusion across the skin or parapodia.
  • Reproduction: Most are sexually reproducing, some are hermaphrodites.
  • Habitat: Mostly aquatic (marine, freshwater), some are terrestrial, and burrowers, some parasites.

Earthworm Characteristics

  • Habitat: Live in damp soil, build burrows, engulfing soil particles mixed with organic matter to aerate the soil.
  • Activity: Nocturnal, active during the night and retire to burrows during the day.
  • Body Structure: Two-part head (prostomium and peristomium) followed by segmented body. Each segment has various organs (circulatory, respiratory, nervous, excretory), and a coelom. Setae present on the ventral surface.
  • External Apertures: Mouth, anus, female openings, male openings, spermathecal pores, dorsal pores, excretory pores (nephridiopores).

Earthworm Reproduction

  • Mating: Worms mate in opposite directions, adhering their ventral surfaces together with mucus secreted by clitellum.
  • Fertilization: Sperm pass from the male genital openings to the seminal receptacles of the other worm; eggs pass from the female genital openings to the mucus ring.
  • Cocoon Formation: The clitellum secretes a mucous ring that becomes a cocoon after the worms separate. Fertilized eggs develop inside cocoons.
  • Development: Young worms emerge from the cocoon after 2-3 weeks.

Earthworm Respiration and Excretion

  • Respiration: No respiratory organs; oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse through the skin.
  • Excretion: Metabolic wastes pass from cells to coelomic fluid, through excretory tubules (nephridia).Nephridia have nephrostomes in one segment and nephridiopores in the next segment.
