External Anatomy
• Cuticle – keeps the worm from drying out
• Dorsal – top part
• Ventral – bottom part
• Clitellum- makes mucus that dries up to form a cocoon
• Prostomium – covers the mouth of the worm
• Mouth- opening at the end allowing the intake of food consisting of particles of both living and dead substances
• Setae – bristle like structures that help the worm move
• Sperm Duct – openings in which sperm can pass through
• Sperm groove – sperm moves along here from sperm duct to another worm
• Oviduct- tube through which eggs pass
• Anus – where excrement (poop) comes out
Internal Anatomy
Circulatory System Dorsal blood vessel Aortic arches Ventral blood vessel Go To Nervous System
Nervous System • Ganglion- group of nerves. In the earthworm, there is a pair of ganglia in each segment and a cerebral ganglia acts like a brain
Excretory System • Nephridium- filters wastes. Almost each segment of the worm has a pair of nephridia.
Digestive System • Food goes from the: Mouth Pharynx Esophagus Crop Gizzard Intestine Anus
• Anus – where excrement (poop) comes out
Reproductive System
• Seminal vesicles- store sperm produced by the earthworm
• Seminal receptaclespaired organs that store sperm received from another worm during copulation
How do Earthworms Mate? • Earthworms are hermaphrodites which means they have both mail and female body parts
• Worms line up head to tail
• Slime coats the clitellum
• As they do this the tube passes over the sperm ducts and picks up sperm
• Down the sperm groove
• And mixes with eggs that come out of the oviduct
• When free of the slime tube, the cocoon closes up and the sperm and eggs mix. • This sac is carried by a worm until baby worms have developed, at which point the sac breaks open and they squirm free.
