Q

How do earthworms carry out feeding?

A

Food is sucked into the mouth by the pharynx, then moves through the esophagus into the crop, where it is stored. Then food passed into the gizzard, where it gets ground up, and then to the intestine where the nutrients are absorbed.

Q

How do earthworms carry out circulation?

A

5 Aortic arches function as the heart and pump blood around. The dorsal blood vessel carried blood towards the head, and the ventral vessel carried from the head to the tail

Q

How do earthworms carry out excretion?

Q

How do earthworms carry out reproduction?

A

Reproduction is sexual, with each hermaphroditic worm giving the other their sperm. Fertilization takes place in a ring produced by the clitellum, which then slides off to make an egg sac
