Annelids– Segmented Worms True coelomates 5 beating hearts– closed circulatory system Bilateral symmetry Setae—bristles (for anchoring & traction)
Phylum Annelida includes earthworms & leeches
Mollusks– AKA “soft-bodied animals” Many have shells (“Valves”) Three-part body plan: head, visceral mass, muscular foot Mucous-covered mantle
Bivalves Clams, mussels, oysters
Gastropods– snails & slugs
Cephalopods– octopuses, squids, cuttlefish, chambered nautilus
Echinoderms Five-part radial symmetry Water-vascular system endoskeleton Echinoderms
Phylum Echinodermata includes sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins
Echinoderms move by use of tube feet
Earthworms are hermaphrodites– but remember, they do NOT self-fertilize. They fertilize each other. The clitellum becomes a cocoon for the eggs.
