Zoology Earthworm Practical

Here are the structures you need to know for tomorrow's earthworm practical.  You'll also need to know any functions as well.

External:

  • Prostomium
  • Clitellum


Internal:

  • Aortic arches
  • Brain
  • Esophagus
  • Crop
  • Gizzard
  • Intestine
  • Seminal vesicle
  • Seminal receptacle
  • Septa


**The practical will involve pins stuck in the earthworm and you will need to identify the structures based on identification/function.  There will be a partial word bank to help with spelling/memory.

Here is a link to the structures:
