4. Common Examples Bristle Worms

5. Common Examples Feather Duster Worms

6. Common Examples Tube Worms

7. Common Examples Tube Worms

8. Common Examples Leeches

9. Rag Worm How would you like to run into the jaws of this guy!

11. Characteristics Segmentation Cephalization Bilateral Symmetry Coelomates One way digestive tract Both Filter Feeders and Predators Asexual and Sexual Reproduction Water and Land Examples

12. Segmentation Each segment repeats Very efficient design. Some are specialized Digestion, reproduction,excretion, etc.

13. Definite Head End

14. Annelida has Bilateral Symmetry Yes, Symmetric No, not Symmetric No, not Symmetric

15. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 The basic body plan = a tube within a tube internal tube= suspended w/in coelom = digestive tract. Body Structure

16. Phylum Annelida Hydrostatic skeleton –Fluid pressure in coelom provides support & locomotion –Circular muscles –Longitudinal muscles –Peristaltic locomotion – squeeze, relax, squeeze!

17. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 SETAE = tiny bristles on each segment help move anchors body in soil so each segment can move the animal along Setae Body Structure

18. Phylum Annelida Setae (“bristles”) of chitin – a carbohydrate Chitin forms the exoskeleton in insects, shrimp, crayfish, etc. –“anchors” for earthworm –“paddles” for polychaete –Enlarged as jaws in leeches, some polychaetes

19. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 distinguishing characteristic is that bodies are divided into ringed segments In most species, segmentation continues internally as each segment is separated from the others by a body partition. Body Structure Segments

20. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 Each segment has its own muscles, allowing shortening and lengthening of the body. Segmentation also allows for specialization of body tissues. Certain segments have modifications for functions such as sensing and reproduction. Body Structure

21. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 Segmented worms have simple nervous systems in which organs in anterior segments have become modified for sensing the environment = cephalization Nervous system Some sensory organs are sensitive to light, and eyes with lenses and retinas have evolved in certain species.

22. In some species there is a brain located in an anterior segment. Nerve cords connect the brain to nerve centers called ganglia, located in each segment. Setae Brain Nervous system

23. Phylum Annelida Closed circulatory system –Multiple “hearts” –Hemoglobin not in blood cells reddish-pink color Blood carries O2 to and CO2 from body cells flow through vessels to reach all parts of the body must live in water or in wet areas on land because they exchange gases directly through their moist skin – like your lungs

24. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 complete internal digestive tract length of body Nutrients diffuse to blood Transported to all cells Digestion and Excretion Food > mouth > crop >gizzard > gut >anus

25. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 GIZZARD a muscular sac Contains hard particles to grind soil and food before they pass into intestine/gut Mouth Crop Gizzard Digestion and Excretion Circulatory System

26. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 have two nephridia in almost every segment. Special cells that collect waste and transport it through the coelom and out of the body. Nephridia Excretion

27. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 Earthworms and leeches are hermaphroditic –exchange sperm. forms a capsule for the eggs and sperm. The eggs fertilized in capsule, then it slips off the worm and left in soil 2-3 weeks, young worms emerge from the eggs. Reproduction

28. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 separate sexes and reproduce sexually. Reproduction in Bristleworms eggs and sperm are released into seawater and fertilize there = external fertilizaton larvae hatch in sea become part of the plankton –important part of food chain Eventually settles to the bottom to live

29. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 ClassOligochaeta - earthworms Class Polychaeta - bristleworms Class Hirudinea - leeches CLASSES OF ANNELIDA

30. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 most well-known annelids Easily seen by most people. Class Oligochaeta: Earthworms burrows through soil Loosens and aerates soil Feces = “castings” = fertilizer Ecologically very important Possible human food source= protein

31. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 Class Polychaeta: Bristleworms Polychaete means “many bristles” Most body segments have many setae has a head with well-developed sense organs, including eyes.

32. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 have parapodia, (paired feet) can be used for swimming or crawling over corals and bottom of sea. Class Polychaeta: Bristleworms Parapodia also function in gas exchange.

33. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 segmented worms with flattened bodies usually no setae Class Hirudinea: Leeches Many are parasites suck blood or other body fluids from hosts (ducks, turtles, fish, and humans).

34. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 saliva contains: – anesthetic chemicals –Anticoagulants – prevent clotting of blood can ingest 2 to 5 times its weight in 1 meal. Hirudinea: Leeches Front and rear suckers for attachment

35. Section 27.2 Summary – pages 728-733 Annelids probably evolved in the sea, perhaps from larvae of ancestral flatworms. Origins of Segmented Worms Tubes constructed by polychaetes are the most common fossils of this phylum. Some of these tubes appear in the fossil record as early as 540 million years ago.
