Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 14RQ
How does segmentation enhance annelid locomotion?
- Segmentation creates repeating body structures so the entire organism functions in synchrony
- Segmentation allows specialization of different body regions
- Neural segmentation allows annelids to localize sensations
- Muscle contractions can be localized to specific regions of the body to coordinate movement.

- Figure 27.9 Which of the following statements about diploblasts and triploblasts is false? Animals that display radial symmetry are diploblasts. Animals that display bilateral symmetry are triploblasts. The endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract and the respiratory tract. The mesoderm gives rise to the central nervous system.arrow_forwardFigure 28.45 Which of the following statements about insects is false? Insects have both dorsal and ventral blood vessels.
