    Characteristics of

    Nematodes, Annelids
    and Platyhelminthes
    Do earthworms have eyes?

    No, instead they have receptor cells that are


    sensitive to light and touch. These cells allow
    earthworms to detect different intensities of light and
    to feel vibrations. They will move away from light, if
    they can. If earthworms are exposed to light for too
    long (about an hour), they will become paralyzed and
    die when their skin dries out.
    Cell- the smallest unit that can live on its own and
    that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of
    the body.
    How do earthworms breathe?
    They do not have lungs; instead, they
    breathe through their skin. Their skin
    needs to stay moist to allow the
    passage of dissolved oxygen into their
    bloodstream. They coat their skin with
    mucus and need to live in a humid,
    moist environment
    • If I cut an earthworm in half, will it
    regenerate into two earthworms?
    No. The half with the earthworm’s
    head can grow a new tail if the cut is
    after the segments containing vital
    organs. But the other half of the
    earthworm cannot grow a new head
    (and all of the other organs needed to
    sustain the earthworm).
    • Which end is the head?
    The head is at the end closest to a swollen band
    encircling the earthworm. Although they can
    move forward and backward, they tend to move
    forward most often.
    •How do earthworms eat?
    They have tiny mouths and
    no teeth, so earthworms eat
    differently than you and I. An
    earthworms eats by pushing
    food down to the esophagus.
    Flatworms: Platyhelminthes

    -are flattened, elongated


    wormlike animals.
    Examples: flatworms, flukes,
    tapeworms
    Platyhelminthes

    Flatworms live on land, in fresh water, in the ocean,


    and in or on other animals as parasites (e.g., tapeworms).
    Parasitic flatworms that live on or inside other animals—
    including humans—can injure or even kill the host organism.
    Free-living non-parasitic flatworms are typically less than 10
    centimeters long. Marine species live buried in the sand or
    under rocks in shallow water. All free-living flatworms are
    predators that actively hunt for food
    Freshwater planarian flatworm
    Yellow papillae flatworm
    Tapeworm Marine
    flatworm
    Free-living marine flatworm Trematode
    flukes
    Roundworms: Nematoda(Nematodes)

    - are elongated, unsegmented wormlike or


    threadlike animals
    - are free living or parasites of humans,
    plants and animals.
    Example: ascaris, vinegar eels,
    hookworms, pinworms
    Roundworms: Nematoda(Nematodes)

    Nematodes are similarly abundant in


    marine and freshwater sediments
    where they serve as important
    predators, decomposers, and prey for
    other species like crabs and snails.
    Roundworms: Nematoda(Nematodes)

    Unlike flatworms, nematodes are


    slender, and they are covered by a
    protective cuticle. A cuticle is a waxy
    covering secreted by the epidermis, or
    outermost cellular tissue.
    Parasitic hookworms-in
    human intestinal tract

    Giant roundworm
    Pork worm
    Segmented Worms: Annelida(Annelids)

    - are elongated, wormlike animals with externally


    evident segmentation, ringed animals
    - they have body segments that allow for
    specialization of tissues and for efficient
    movement.
    Example: earthworms, leeches, lugworms
