Annelida
EJERCICIO 12
Goals for today• Learn to recognized the Phylum Annelida from
other animals• Learn the main ‘diagnostic’ characteristics• Learn about some species biology
AnnelidaAnnelids include earthworms, leeches, and marine polychaetes.
Key characteristics of the phylum:• coelomates• Triploblastic• Bilateral symmetry• Cephalization• Protostomates• Segmentation or metamerism• Belong to phylogenetic clade:
Lophotrochozoa• Complete digestive system

Annelida: Your TasksExercise 12A:
– Phylum: Annelida• Clase Polychaeta
• Genus: Nereis
Nereis is a sandworm strictly marine. They live in the mud and debris of shallow coastal waters often in burrows. Largely nocturnal. They reach 0.5 m
Annelida: Polychaetes1. Observe lamina de parapodia. Identify the parts in the figure.
Where is the notopodium and neuropodium?
Annelida: Polychaetes1. Observe preserved polychaetes. Put one in a petri dish and
observed the following structures in the dissecting scope
Annelida: Your TasksExercise 12B:
– Phylum: Annelida• Clase Oligochaeta
• Genus: Lumbricus terrestris
Lumbricus terrestris prefers moist, rich soil that is not too dry or sandy. They are primarily nocturnal and come out of their borrow at night to forage
Annelida: Lumbricus1. Observe slide of cross section of an earthworm: look for the
following parts
Annelida: Lumbricus1. Dissection: of an earthworm and look at the external anatomy
Annelida: Lumbricus
1. Dissection: of an earthworm and look at the internal anatomy
What are the crop and gizzard for?
Is their circulatory system open or close?
Annelida: Lumbricus
Dissection in a ‘fresh’ worm, noticed the location of the typhlosole
Wha is the function of the typhlosole?

Annelida: Your TasksExercise 12C:
– Phylum: Annelida• Clase Hirundina
• Genus: Hirudo medicinalis
Medicinal leeches are any of several species of leeches, but most commonly Hirudo medicinalis, the European medicinal leech
Annelida: HirudoMedicinal leeches are now making a comeback in microsurgery. They provide an effective means to reduce blood coagulation, to relieve venous pressure from pooling blood (venous insufficiency), and in reconstructive surgery to stimulate circulation in reattachment operations for organs with critical blood flow, such as eyelids, fingers, and ears. The therapeutic effect is not from the blood taken in the meal, but from the continued and steady bleeding from the wound left after the leech has detached.

Annelida: Hirudo1. Observe slide of a leech: identify the oral and caudal suckers,
pharynx, and crop.
