40
Q

clitellum

A

slightly swollen region that produces a mucous film that is important for reproduction

41
Q

where can the clitellum be found

A

closer to the anterior end (head)

42
Q

genital pores

A

pair of large pores which are the openings of the vas deferens

43
Q

how do earthworms differ from polychaetes

A

there are NO visible external appendages or sense organs

44
Q

what makes up the digestive system

A
  1. muscular pharynx
  2. esophagus
  3. crop
  4. gizzard
  5. intestine
  6. typholsole
45
Q

most anterior portion of the alimentary tract

46
Q

why does the muscular pharynx look fuzzy

A

because of the dilator muscles extending along the body wall

47
Q

how does the pharynx expand and suck in particles of soil

A

by the contraction of the dilator muscles

48
Q

esophagus

A

food passes through for processing

49
Q

crop

A

thin-walled sac for storage

50
Q

gizzard

A

muscular organ for grinding food particles

51
Q

intestine

A

chemical digestion and absorption

52
Q

typholsole

A

rod of tissue hanging suspended in the intestine

53
Q

function of typholsole

A

increased absorptive surface for absorbed food

54
Q

parts of the circulatory system

A
  1. dorsal blood vessel
  2. ventral blood vessel
  3. aortic arches (hearts)
55
Q

dorsal blood vessel

A

dark tube overlying the digestive tract

56
Q

do worms have a closed or open circulator system

57
Q

ventral blood vessel

A

small, yellowish tube running along the underside of the intestine

58
Q

how many hearts do earthworms have

59
Q

aortic arches

A

pump the blood from the dorsal vessel into the ventral blood vessel

60
Q

what picks up oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide

A

tiny capillaries in the skin of each segment

61
Q

parts of the nervous system

A
  1. cerebral ganglia
  2. ventral nerve cord
  3. lateral nerves
62
Q

cerebral ganglia

A

brain-like pair of concentrated nerves

63
Q

what do the cerebral ganglia bear connections with

A

nerve cord beneath

64
Q

ventral nerve cord

A

thin, whitish cord located below the ventral blood vessel

65
Q

lateral nerves

A

run into the muscles of the body wall from swollen regions on the ventral nerve cord

66
Q

parts of the reproductive system

A
  1. seminal vesicles
  2. seminal receptacles
67
Q

seminal vesicles

A

3 large whitish sacs where sperm is RELEASED from very tiny testes

68
Q

where does sperm travel to once released from testes

A

the seminal vesicles where they mature

69
Q

seminal receptacles

A

2 pairs of small, round sacs that received sperm from ANOTHER PARTNER during copulation

70
Q

parts of the excretory system

A

metanephridia

71
Q

metanephridia are located

A

one per segment in region POSTERIOR to gizzard

72
Q

metanephridia

A

excretory organs where coelomic fluid enters the open end of each tubule, metabolic waste is removed via a pore through the body wall

73
Q

cuticle

A

external layer protecting the skin

74
Q

epidermis

A

cellular layer of tissue beneath the cuticle

75
Q

what functions in DIRECT gas exchange with the environment and prevention of desiccation

76
Q

circular muscles

A

thin layer of muscular tissue which contracts = squeezes the worm long and thin

77
Q

longitudinal muscles

A

thick layer of muscles beneath the circular muscles - when contracted = squeeze worm short and fat

78
Q

what muscles squeezes the worm short and fat

A

longitudinal muscles

79
Q

what muscles squeezes the worm long and flat

A

circular muscles

80
Q

where are intestines located

A

centrally in coelom

81
Q

cuticle and epidermis function

A

protection

82
Q

circular and longitudinal function

A

locomotion

83
Q

pharynx function

A

swallow food

84
Q

gizzard function

A

break down food

85
Q

repetitive body segments function

A

help the worm move

86
Q

metanephridia function

A

remove metabolic waste

87
Q

chaetae function

A
  1. anchorage
  2. locomotion
88
Q

seminal vesicle function

A

sperm production

89
Q

seminal receptacles

A
