C) Parapodia
The hirudineans Usually lack setae. True or False
True
a stiff structure resembling a hair or a bristle, especially in an invertebrate is called…….
Setae
The structure seen in some Sedentaria, which secretes mucus and produces a cocoon that protects the developing young zygote, is called the …..
Clitellum
The hirudineans have 34 segments, anterior and posterior suckers, and no parapodia. True or False
True
The body cavity of an annelid is referred to as a pseudocoelom. True or False
False. It is a Coelom
The first segment of an annelid, which bears the mouth, is called the prostomium. True or False
True.
The organ of excretion in annelids is the…..
Nephridium
Development in the hirudines is direct, and therefore no larva is formed. True or False
True
The order Clitelleta is located within the class: A) Errantia B) Sedentaria C) Onychophora D) Hirudinea
B) Sedantaria
What is the basic Phylogeny of Annelids
True tissue -> Bilaterally symmetrical -> Protostome development -> Lophotorochozoa -> Segmented coelom present
What are the major external features of an Annelid
Metamerism - Prostomium - Pygidium - Bilaterally symmetrical with head - Moist cuticle - Paired parapodia/Setae
Define Metamerism
Segmented body
Define Prostomium
Head - contains brains
