Annelida
Major Groups |
Class Polychaeta

|
Annelida
Apomorphy |
Chitinous bristles (setae/chaetae)
|
|
Annelida
General |
- 12,400 described species.
- Marine, FW and terrestrial - Freeliving, commensal and parasitic |
|
Annelida
Body Wall |
Anterior prostomium, then peristomium and a posterior pygidium
- Thin flexible, permeable outter layer - Circular and Longitudinal muscles - peritoneum (lines coelom) |
|
Annelida
Body Cavity |
- Metameric
- Segments seperated by septa - Compartmentalized coelom - Isolated coelomic fluid in each segment - Idependent movement of segments |
|
Annelida Metamerism
|
- External rings or "annuli"
- Repeated structures/ serial homology - Internal septa (connective tissue inbetween each peritoneum) - Digestive tract is NOT metameric |
|
Annelida
Nervous system |
- Anterior cluster of ganglia
- Pair Longitudinal cords with giant nerve fibers - Cerebral ganglion (brain) - Suboesophageal ganglion (under esophagus) |
|
Annelida
Circulatory System |
- Closed circulatory system
- Major dorsal and ventral vessel for anterior and posterior transport. - Capillaries connect vessels - No "heart" - Vessels with contractile properites and one way valves, to act as heart - Fluid transports oxygen via hemoglobin, hemoerythrin, and chlorocruorin (green) |
|
Annelida
Excretory System |
- Metanephridia (open tubes that drawns fluid to outside)
- Funnel opening in one segment and pore to outside in next segment - Tubes involved in osmoregulation |
|
Annelida
Locomotion |
- Selective contraction of regions (Peristallic waves)
- Coelomic fluid creates hydrostatic skeleton - Squeeze and push animal forward - Chaetae act as brace for motion |
|
Class Clitellata
Subclass Oligochaeta Characteristics |
- Earthworm
- 3500 described ssp - FW, Marien and Terrestrial - Scavengers and deposit feeders |
|
Oligochaeta
Body form |
- cylindrical body
- few lateral projections - no parapodia - setae present - no head - no tentacles - few photoreceptors - aquatic species have long setae |
|
Oligochaeta
Clitellum |
- Series of segments in anterior portion, swollen with glandular tissue
- Secrete mucous and cocoon to hold eggs - Role in copulation |
|
Oligochaeta
Internal |
- Divided by septa
- well developed circular muscles |
|
Oligochaeta
Locomotion |
Earthworm
- wave of contraction of circular muscles. - Chaetae anchor body |
|
Oligochaeta
Gas exchange |
- No specilized structures
- Diffusion across moist cuticle - Hemoglobin in circulatory flid |
|
Oligochaeta
Reproduction |
- Gonads are discrete tissue
- Only in few segments - Hermaphroditic, dont self breed. - Copulation w/o intromission - Male opening seg 14, spermatheca (storage) in seg 10-11 - Simultaneous transmission - Some asexual * Different form Polychaetes |
|
Oligochaeta
After Fertilization |
- Cocoon secreted by clitellum
- Eggs deposited from female gonopore - Then sperm from spermatheca - Kind of external fertilization - Cocoon deposited in soil - Direct development (No larval stage) |
|
Class Polychaeta
|
- Marine segmented worms
- 70% annelids 2 groups = Errant and Sedentary |
|
Class Polychaeta
Apomorphy |
Parapodia = lateral extensions of the body wall modified for different functions in different parts of the body.
|
|
Errant Polychaetes
|
- Mobile
- Well-developed parapodia and sensory structures - Homonomous |
|
Sedentary Polychaetes
|
- Tube or burrow dwelling
- Reduced parapodia - Heteronomous - Gills, feeding tentacles - Use sand grains and mucous to construct burrows |
|
Polychaetes
Obtaining food |
- Raptorial feeders (hunters) w/ eversible pharynx sclerotized jaw and toxic saliva
- herbivores, omnivores or scavangers - Non-selective deposit feeders (process sand on beach) - Selecive deposit feeders - Filter feeders |
|
Polychaeta
Reproduction |
- Gonochoristic/dioecious
- No discrete gonads, gametes produced by peritoneal tissues - 6 segments - External fertilization - Trochophore Larva |
|
Family Siboglinidae
Characteristics |
- 150 species
- benthic marine - sedentary tube dwellers - No digestive system - Closed circulatory system - Two groups: Perivates and vestimentiferans |
|
Siboglinidae
Apomorphy |
-Trophosome: filled with chemosynthetic bacteria
- Segmentation in posterior portion ONLY |
|
Siboglinidae
Group Perviates |
Absorb nutrients across body wall, resemble threads
|
|
Siboglinidae
Group Vestimentiferans |
- Regions of hydrothermal vents
- Dense species rich communities |
|
Siboglinidae
Bacteria |
- Bodies too big and dense for diffusion so...
- Trophosomal bacteria, oxidize hydrogen sulfied or methane - Generate ATP and synthesize carbohydrates. - Worms deliver compounds to bacteria, worms use organics produced by bacteria. |
|
Siboglinidae
Reproduction |
- Gonochoristic
- Spiral cleavage - Trochophore larva |
|
Class Echiura
Characteristics |
- Burrows, spoon worms
- No segmentation as adults -160 species - Deposit feeders - No specilized sensory system - Proboscis for feeding |
|
Class Echiura
Apomorphy |
Anal sacs with funnels protrude into coelom.
|
|
Echiura
Reproduction |
Gonochoristic with no distinct gonads.
- Peritoneal lining - Trochophore larva |
|
Subclass Hirudinea
Characteristics |
Leeches
- 700 species - FW or terrestrial, few marine - Highly muscular - Clitellum |
|
Hirudinea
Apomorphy |
Posterior sucker**
Has two suckers, one on each end. Mouth is in anterior sucker, but is the only class with posterior sucker as well. |
|
Hirudinea
