Complete questions on Coloring sheet for tomorrow. Complete ‘Scramble Words’ Vocabulary sheet for Wednesday. Quiz on Thursday on the vocabulary for Annelida
2
The segmented worms “annelus” - little ring I’m metameric
3
3 classes of Annelida Class Polychaeta – mostly marine fanworms, bristle worms, tube worms
4
Feather duster worms ( Polychaetes) Filter feeder
5
Class Oligochaeta - earthworms
6
Class Hirudinea - leeches
7
General characteristics segmented body coelomate
8
Longitudinal and circular muscles Setae/ bristles used for locomotion Soft bodies – hydrostatic skeleton Bilateral symmetry Respiration: In feather duster worms – gills Earthworms – moist skin
9
Specialized structures: Ex. Earthworm Prostomium – used for sensing and digging through the soil.
10
Earthworms have a closed circulatory system: Blood flow in blood vessels – dorsal and ventral. They have 5 pumping ‘hearts’ called pseudo-hearts or aortic arches. (Color red)
11
Segments
13
Digestive system: Mouth, Pharynx, Esophagus, Crop (store food), gizzard (ground up food), intestine (digestion), anus (excretion) Color Green
15
Nephridia for excretion Clitellum – Secretes mucous ring for fertilization. Ganglia form ‘brain’. Has a ventral nerve cord. Color Blue
16
Nephridia – Helps with excretion of nitrogen containing wastes.
17
Reproduction: Example - Earthworm Sexual reproduction Hermaphrodites – Male and Female reproductive structures. Eggs produced in ovaries Worms exchange sperm: Sperm produced in testes. Seminal receptacles receive the sperm from the other worm during mating. Seminal vescicles store sperm from other worm. External fertilization in a mucous ring which becomes a cocoon. Mucous ring forms at clitellum.

22
Mode of nutrition: Some are filter feeders – Tube worms Some are carnivores – Nereis Earthworms feed on decaying vegetation.
23
Movement: Body muscles and a hydrostatic Skeleton. Marine annelids have parapodia Used for swimming and crawling Earthworms have bristle like Setae to help with movement.
