What is it?

• Latin word anellis which means ring

• Annelids are ringed worms

• Differentiated by their segments

• Length: <1 inch and upwards of 11 feet

• Uses chaetae (small bristles) to move

Page 3: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

What are Chaetae?

• Voice Thread!:)

• A voice thread link that will help you to understand more about what the chaetae is and its function

Page 4: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

• Oceans

• Fresh Water

• Land

Page 5: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

• Earthworms are commonly sold as bait

• The same goes with leeches• Earthworms are also do great

things for the soil in gardens• Leeches saliva may someday also

be used to prevent blood clots in humans

Page 6: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

Food Source• Heterotrophic creatures (require organic

substances)• Earthworms ingest soil and extract

nutrients from it• Leeches are predators that usually

swallow their prey but sometimes just suck the blood

• Bristle worms move their bristles and trap particles to ingest

Page 7: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

How They’re Unique• All have segmented bodies

• Bodies are sealed with a wall or septa

• Each segment contains separate body parts

• They have evolved to be more adaptable to their environment

Page 8: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

Polychaete• Lives in marine habitat• Over 10,000 different species• Ex. Bristle Worms• Polychaeta is Latin for “many

bristles”

Page 9: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

• Lives on land• 3,500 species• Also live in swamps and marshes• Oligochaeta means "few-bristled”• Ex. Earthworms

Hiruindea

• Around 500 species• Live on land,

saltwater, and freshwater

• Some suck blood, but many don't

• Have little to no chaetae

• Ex. Leech

• Annelids use their strong muscles to support their shape

• They are an invertebrate meaning they have no bones

• Their ring-like muscles help them to support their shape

Page 15: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

• Oxygen is diffused through body surface

• Then it is used by the capillaries• These are very close to the surface

and make it easier to use the oxygen• Carbon Dioxide is then diffused back

out through the skin

Page 16: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

• Some Annelids use asexual reproduction– This means they can produce offspring by breaking

off part of their body

• Some are also hermaphrodites– This means they have characteristics of both sexes

• Many though have either male or female and require a partner to reproduce

• They develop segment by segment until adulthood

Page 17: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

• Very primitive brain by the mouth

• They have nerve cords traveling the length of their bodies

• Sensory Organs– Eyes– Taste buds– Tactical Tentacles– Statocysts

Page 18: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

• Annelids have a closed circulatory system

• Ring vessels function as small hearts

• Blood moves to the head through a contractile vessel

• The two main vessels are the dorsal and ventral blood vessels

Page 19: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

Excretory System• Central unit is the Nephridia

• There are different types of Nephridia for different types of Annelids

• The Protonephridia are joined to a duct that flushes out of the subject

• The Metanephridia contain cilia and open to the outside of the subject

Page 20: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

• One long digestive tract

• Food is stored in the crop

• Ground up by the gizzard

• They have unsegmented guts.

• Also have separate pharynx and stomach

Page 21: By John Cashman and Jason Holthaus

Examples• Earthworms• Bristle Worms• Leeches• Lug Worms• Bamboo Worms• And thousands more
