Leeches, earthworms
Annelida characteristics
Triploblstic
coelomates
Protosomes: mouth forms first
bilateral symmetry
complete digestion (mouth and anus)
Reproductin: sexual- hermaphrodites, asexual- regeneration
circulatory system: closed circ system
Metanephridia: glands for excretion and osmoregulation
chaetae: hair like bristles that aid in traction
Oligochaetes and polychaetes- classes of annelids
Mollusca
octopus, slugs, squids, clams

Body characteristics mollusca
Foor: used for locomotion and anchoring
Visceral mass: organs found inside
radula: tongue like organ with teeth like projections
mantle: tissue layer that secretes a hard shell

Closed circ system
Gastropods
stomach foot
snails and slugs
Open circ sysem
hemocoel: open space inside where blood can flow to surrounding tissues
torsion during larval stage: rotation of structures which brings the anus right above their heads
