are phylum annelida are commonly found
The internal organs of annelids are well developed. They include a closed, segmentally-arranged circulatory system. The digestive system is a complete tube with mouth and anus. Gases are exchanged through the skin, or sometimes through specialized gills or modified parapodia. Each segment has the same sets of organs and, in most polychaetes, has a pair of parapodia that many species use for locomotion. Septa separate the segments of many species, but are poorly defined or absent in others, and Echiura and Sipuncula show no obvious signs of segmentation. PHYLUM ARTHROPODA There are more species of arthropods than in all other animal phyla combined. Species occupy water, land, and air; they are herbivores, carnivores, and parasites. This vast array divides into three extant groups: chelicerates, crustaceans, and uniramians, and one extinct group, the trilobites. Their bodies are very similar and a description of one also fits the other fairly well. Obtain a preserved crayfish for study of external anatomy. First note the different body regions: the cephalothorax, and abdomen. 1. The first antenna has 2 branches, followed by the second antenna with a single branch. There are over 22,000 living annelid species, ranging in size from microscopic to the Australian giant Gippsland earthworm and Amynthas mekongianus (Cognetti, 1922), which can both grow up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) long. By Phil Myers. The annelids include earthworms, polychaete worms, and leeches. All members of the group are to some extent segmented, in other words, made up of segments that are formed by subdivisions that partially transect the body cavity. Segmentation is also called metamerism. PHYLUM ANNELIDA (segmented worms) The name “Annelida” means “little ring”, which refers to the segments that make up their bodies. As in molluscs, a fluid-filled body cavity, the coelom, is present. Earthworms, leeches, and an assortment of segmented marine worms belong to this phylum. The annelids (Annelida, from Latin anellus, little ring), also known as the ringed worms or segmented worms, are a large phylum, with over 17,000 extant species including ragworms, earthworms, and leeches. Annelids are considered members of the Lophotrochozoa, a super-phylum of protostomes that also includes molluscs, brachiopods, flatworms and nemerteans. The basic annelid form consists of multiple segments. In species with incomplete septa or none, the blood circulates through the main body cavity without any kind of pump, and there is a wide range of locomotory techniques – some burrowing species turn their pharynges inside out to drag themselves through the sediment.
