    THE MECHANISM OF

    LOCOMOTION IN EARTHWORM
    • THE FORCE OF ATTRACTION IN
    HYDROSTATIC SKELETON ANIMAL LIKE
    EARTHWORM IS APPLIED TO A FLUID
    FILLED CAVITY CALLED COELOM.
    • COELOM IS SURROUNDED BY 2
    ANTAGONISTIC LAYERS OF MUSCLE:
    #CIRCULAR
    MUSCLE#
    (SURROUNDS THE CHAMBER)
    #LONGITUDINAL MUSCLE#
    (EXTEND FROM END TO END)
    LOCOMOTION IN EARTHWORM
    • Circular muscle
    contract,
    longitudinal muscle
    relax, earthworm
    becomes thinner
    and longer (vice
    versa)
    • During locomotion,
    circular and
    longitudinal
    muscles contract
    and relax
    rythmically
    producing
    peristaltic waves
    along the body.
    Succesive peristaltic waves begin at-
    the front and move towards the end
    of the body
    (bristle (chaetae eathworm has-
    -:chaetae function of-
    anchorspart of the body to the*
    ground so that other parts can be
    .pulled towards the static parts
