Summary Introduction
To review:
The organs exhibiting segmentation in Annelids.
Introduction:
Annelida is the phylum of segmented worms found in aquatic, marine, or freshwater, terrestrial, and burrowing habitats. They are triploblastic and bilaterally symmetrical organisms. A true coelom is present that means body cavity is lined by distinct mesoderm layer. Respiration is cutaneous (from moist skin). Excretion is done with the help of special glands called nephridia and metanephridia. Circulatory system is closed type.

What are morphological structures of flatworms?
Crustaceans, like annelids, are segmented animals. But crustaceans unlike annelids have tagmata. What are two advantages and two disadvantages to this type of segmentation in comparison to annelids?
How does segmentation and having a fluid-filled body cavity confer certain advantages to annelids over the other worm phyla such as flatworms and nematodes?
