Phylum Annelida

Phylum Annelida
Characteristics
Protostomia, eucoelomates Metamerism (= unspecialized segmentation) In the Classes:
Parapodia Clitellium

Systems
Integument- epidermis is one cell layer with mucous gland that secrete a moist cuticle. Skeletal -hydrostatic (using coelom) Muscle- longitudinal and circular muscles Each segments muscles are independent of the other segments. Digestive- complete, complex, with typhlosole for absorption and chloragogen cells acting as digestive gland and excretory cells.

Systems (continue)
Excretory- a pair of nephridia per segment. Respiratory -through skin, some through parapodia; tubeworms have gills. Circulatory- closed system, use hemoglobin as oxygen carrier. Nervous- dorsal brain; ventral, double, solid nerve cord, with ganglia in each segment. Endocrine- hormones secreted by nervous system. Reproductive Dioecious in Polychaeta; no special organs, posterior end becomes gonads. Monoecious in Oligochaeta and Hirudinea; Clitellium.
