2. Classification of the Phylum Annelida
✘The animal group who are triploblastic, coelomate and
bodies are segmented and covered with soft cuticle is
known as annelida.
✘3 Classes of Annelids
✗Class I: Polychaeta
✗Class II: Oligochaeta
✗Class III: Hirudinea
3. Class I: Polychaeta
Characteristics:
✘1. Most of them are marine and variously
colored.
✘2. Each segment bears a lateral fleshy
outgrowth help in swimming. These appendages
are known as parapodia.
✘3Body is with a distinct head, head with eyes,
pulp and tentacles.
✘4. Clitellum is absent.
✘5. Generally unisexual, fertilization external.
✘6. Development through trochophore larva.
Myrianida pachyceraAphrodita aculeata
4. Class II: Oligochaeta
Characteristics:
✘1. Either freshwater or terrestrial forms.
✘2. Head indistinct and without head
appendages.
✘3. Parapodia and bristles absent and setae
remain embedded in the skin.
✘4. Clitellum present.
✘5. Sexes united, gonads few, development
direct
Eisenia andreiPerionyx
excavatus
5. Class III: Hirudinea
Characteristics:
✘1. Mostly aquatic forms but a few may be terrestrial.
✘2. Body dorsoventrally flattened
✘3. Head distinct, without head appendages, may bear eyes.
✘4. Parapodia, absent.
✘5. Two sucker
✗Posterior used for adhesion
✗Anterior one suction.
✘7. Fertilization internal, development direct, and are
hermaphrodite.

13. ECHINODERMS
✘The Echinoderms are triploblastic, coelomate
animals.
✘They possess a water vascular system.
✘Their endoskeleton is covered by epithelium
✘5 Classes of Echinoderms
✗Class I: Asteroidea
✗Class II: Ophiuroidea
✗Class III: Echinoidea
✗Class IV: Holothuroidea
✗Class V: Crinoidea
18. Class V: Crinoidea
Characteristics:
✘Body has a central disc which is attached to the
substratum.
✘They are free living or they are attached by an
aboral stalk of ossicles.
19. Hemichordate
✘Is a phylum of marine animals, generally
considered the sister group of the echinoderms.
✘ They appear in the Lower or Middle Cambrian
✘2 Classes of Hemichordate
✗Class I: Enteropneusta
✗Class II: Pterobranchia
20. Class I: Enteropneusta
Characteristics:
✘They live in shallow water.
✘They are worm like animals.
✘They live in burrows on sandy shorelines.
✘Their body is divided into three regions:
✗Proboscis
✗Collar
✗Trunk.
✘Example: Acorn Worm
Triploblastic= animal that has three primary germ layers during embryonic development.
Coelomate= having a cavity between the body wall and the digestive tract
Appendages= A part or organ, such as an arm, leg, tail, or fin, that is joined to the axis or trunk of a body.
Parapodia=muscular bristle-bearing appendages used in locomotion, sensation, or respiration.
Clitellum=body wall, that secretes a sticky substance during copulation.
Clitellum=body wall, that secretes a sticky substance during copulation.
1. Mostly aquatic forms, either fresh water or marine, but a few may be terrestrial.
Spinnerets= silk-producing organ: a tiny tubular structure, usually one of two pairs, that exudes the fluid produced by the abdominal glands of a silk-producing
Chelecerae= mouthpart of arachnid: either of the first pair of mouthparts that, resembling fangs or pincers and used to grab or poison prey
Pedipalps =part of spider's mouth: either of a pair of appendages that are part of the mouths of spiders and other arachnids
Flies Locust
Epithelium= Thin protective layer of tissue: a thin layer of tightly packed cells lining internal cavities, ducts, and organs of animals and covering exposed bodily surfaces, especially in wounds that are healing
