3How do the Annelids fit in?
Annelida
Rotifera
Nematoda
Platyhelminthes
Nemertea
Cnidaria
Porifera
unknown common ancestor
4Annelida Characteristics
Triploblastic (3 tissue layers)
Organ level of organization
Bilateral Symmetry
Cephalization
Coelomate (with a body cavity)
5Remember these ideas from the last chapter
6Coelomate
Have a true body cavity that is completely
surrounded by mesoderm
ectoderm
coelom
mesoderm
endoderm
7Annelid Characteristics
the coelom
- is a closed, fluid filled cavity that surrounds
the gut - the fluid within acts as a circulatory system
and hydroskeleton - mesodermal membranes (mesenteries) suspend
organs in the coelom
ectoderm
8Annelida Characteristics
Metamerism
- The body is made up of serially repeating,
coordinated segments called metameres that are
separated from one another by septa. - Each metamere contains sets of repeating organs
- e.g. gut, blood vessels, nerve cord, excretory
organs
9Metamerism
septa
Think of a row of tires
10Annelida Characteristics
Nervous system
- 2 cerebral ganglia
- a ventral nerve cord with 2 ganglia per
metamere. - In some species, sensory organs such as eyes,
palps, and tentacles have arisen
11brain
nerve cord
2 cerebral ganglia
12Annelida Characteristics
Arthropod exoskeleton component
Locomotion
- both longitudinal and circular muscles
- most have setae (chitonous bristles secreted by
the epidermis) that aid in locomotion and
burrowing
Skeletal System
- fluid in coelom acts as a hydrostatic skeleton
13Class Oligochaeta
Locomotion
Circular muscle contraction
Longitudinal muscle contraction
14Annelind Cross section
15Annelind Cross section
Circular muscle
Longitudinal muscle
skin
16Annelind Cross section
coelom
Circular muscle
Gut (intestine)
Longitudinal muscle
Intestine wall
skin

18Annelid Characteristics
Gas exchange
- mainly by diffusion
- Class Polychaeta often has specialized
structures for gas exchange - (e.g. parapodia, gills)
19Annelid Characteristics
Digestive System
Youll get to observe these more closely during
the dissection
- complete
- regional specialization
Circulatory System
- closed circulatory system composed of blood
vessels (some of which are contractile and act as
hearts) - some circulation is also accomplished by the
coelomic fluid
20coelomic chambers
pharynx
mouth
esophagus
crop (storage)
gizzard (mashing)
This diagram is found in the dissection lab
21More properly called aortic arches
One each on the dorsal and ventral sides
hearts
blood vessels

23Annelid Characteristics
Excretion
- excretion is accomplished by organs called
nephridia (singular nephridium) in the skin - sexual
- Hermaphrodites (individuals with both sets of
reproductive organs)
Reproduction
24(No Transcript)
25Phylum Annelida
Class Oligochaeta Class Hirudinea Class
Polychaeta
26Class Oligochaeta
27Class Oligochaeta
- terrestrial, freshwater and marine
- have few setae (Oligo few, chaeta setae)
- usually feed on detritus
- (decaying organic matter)
- have specialized digestive system to obtain the
maximum amount of nutrients out of the detritus
(e.g. pharynx, gizzard, crop)
28Class Oligochaeta
Locomotion
Circular muscle contraction
Longitudinal muscle contraction
29Class Oligochaeta
Reproduction
- usually monoecious
- cross-fertilize by
- exchanging sperm
clitellum
testis
30Ecology
- Earthworms are essential soil aerators
- If all the material ever moved through
earthworms was piled up, the heap would rise
30miles , more than 5 times the height of Mount
Everest!! - Worm Grunting
A saw or leaf spring of a pick-up
stob
31(No Transcript)
32Class Hirudinea
33Class Hirudinea
- usually freshwater but there are some marine and
terrestrial species - no septa between metameres
- no setae
- have 2 suckers
34Class Hirudinea
- have an extendable proboscis for feeding
35Class Hirudinea
- usually have a fixed number of segments (34)
- each metamere consists of several annuli (think
accordion)
1 metamere
annuli
36Class Hirudinea
Locomotion
Lack septa between metameres, so they are
incapable of moving like Oligochaetes. Instead,
they use their anterior and posterior suckers to
move.
37Class Hirudinea
Reproduction
- usually monoecious
- cross-fertilize by
- exchanging sperm
38(No Transcript)
39Ecology
- Although some leeches are parasitic blood
suckers (can be temporary or permanent), many are
predators.
40Ecology
video
- Leeches have been used medicinally since the
19th century. - Currently they are used to increase blood flow
following reconstructive surgery - Hirudin is a powerful anticoagulant that is
found in the salivary glands of leeches - Leech saliva contains antiseptic chemicals
- And an anesthetic
DONT WRITE THIS DOWN, YOU HAVE AN ARTICLE AND
VIDEO WITH THE INFO
41Class Polychaeta
42Class Polychaeta
- all marine
- this class contains 2/3 of all known Annelids
- have a well developed head with specialized
sense organs
43Class Polychaeta
- have many setae (chitonous bristles secreted by
the epidermis) - (Poly many, chaeta setae)
- these setae are arranged in bundles on
paddle-like appendages called parapodia
setae
44Class Polychaeta
Parapodium
setae
The parapodia function in gas exchange,
locomotion, and feeding.
45Class Polychaeta
- Tagmatization (tagmosis)
- the fusion and specialization of formerly
metameric segments
46Class Polychaeta
Many are filter-feeders with specialized
structures
47Class Polychaeta
Many are predatory with specialized structures
48Class Polychaeta
Many construct their own homes out of CaCO3 or
sand debris and mucous
49Class Polychaeta
- Reproduction
- usually dioecious (separate sexes)
- no permanent sex organs gametes are shed into
coelom - fertilization is usually external
- indirect development ? trocophore larvae
50Ecology
- Polychaetes often have effective
- defense strategies
- some have tubes to hide in
- some have vicious jaws
- some have modified stinging setae
a fireworm
51Ecology
A type of symbiosis
- Some Polychaetes have a mutualistic relationship
with their host - for example, many scaleworms are found near, or
in the mouth, of brittlestars, starfish, and sea
urchins. - The scaleworm eats its hosts leftovers and with
its vicious jaws, it will attack any predator
trying to eat its host.
