4. Characteristics Segmentation (metameric body plan) Eucoelomate
15,000 species
Closed circulatory system, but no heart
Hydrostatic skeleton
Excretion- protonephridia, metanephridia, diffusion or gills
Simple gut
Respiration- diffusion or gills
Central nervous system- brain and nerve cord
Reproduction- asexual or sexual (many gonochoric)
Sensory system of tactile organs, taste buds, statocysts, photoreceptor cells, and eyes with lenses.

5. Subclass Oligochaeta Lack parapodia and have few setae
Lack the distinctive head region of polychaetes and have no eyes.
Scavengers that consume soil that contains organic matter
The ingested soil moves into a storage chamber called the crop, then to an area called the gizzard, where grinding action breaks down the soil particles. Undigested material passes out the anus in a form called castings, which are prized as soil fertilizer.

6. Each segment is also known as a metamere
Metamerism (segmentation)
Each segment is also known as a metamere
Each metamere has a parapodia with numerous setae

7. Body Cavities
Eucoelomate- body cavity completely lined with mesoderm

9. Closed Versus Open Circulatory Systems

10. Open Circulatory System

11. Nervous System and Behavior
A mass of ganglia (neural masses) forms an anterior brain that is usually dorsal to the pharynx.
They have either a pair of ventral nerve cords (primitive) or a single ventral nerve cord that runs the length of the body.
Each segment has a swelling of the nerve cord called a segmental ganglion.
Sensory receptors include: chemoreceptors, touch receptors, photoreceptors, statocysts and vibration receptors.
Behaviors vary depending on class/life style.

17. Subclass Hirudinea Leeches
Most live in fresh bodies of water, but some live among moist vegetation.
Suckers found on both ends
Unlike other annelids, its segments are not separated internally
Leeches lack both setae and parapodia
Most are predators or scavengers. Very few are parasites.
They secrete anticoagulants, hirudin, to keep blood from clotting and anesthetic that prevents the host from feeling their presence.

18. Subclass Hirudinea

19. Hirudo medicinalis

20. Class Polychaeta Largest group of annelids Primarily marine
Most segments include a pair of paddle–like parapodia
Well-developed head with eyes and other sensory structures

26. Spaghetti worm- deposit feeder
Ancient Hawaiians called spaghetti worms kauna'oa or kio and used them as medicine (for what ailment is not clear).
Patients either drank an infusion of cooked tentacles daily for several weeks or sucked the body fluid from a live worm through a bamboo tube
Hawaii has 11 species
5 are endemic

27. The pharynx is everted by contraction of body wall muscles.

28. Parapodia- movement and respiration
