	Annelid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Annelids are triploblastic protostomes with a coelom, closed circulatory system and true segmentation.
		The annelid fossil record is sparse, but a few definite forms are known as early as the Cambrian, and there are some signs they were around in the later Precambrian, but the earliest unequivocal annelid fossils are only known from the Cambrian.
		Annelids and Mollusks are thus united as the Trochozoa, a taxon more strongly supported by molecular evidence.

		The annelids, collectively called Annelida, are a large phylum of animals, comprising the segmented worms, with about 15000 modern species including the well-known earthworms and leeches.
		The annelid fossil record is sparse, but a few definite forms are known as early as the Cambrian, and there are some signs they were around in the later Precambrian.
		The arthropods and their kin have long been considered the closest relatives of the annelids, on account of their common segmented structure, but a number of differences between the two groups suggest this may be convergent evolution.

	Annelid - MSN Encarta
		Although annelids are diverse in form, the bristle worms, which generally are considered the ancestral stock, can exemplify their structure.
		The elongate body is rounded in cross section, with a mouth (sometimes jawed) at one end and an anus at the other, and it exhibits bilateral symmetry.
		Fossil annelids are rare because their soft bodies do not preserve well.

	The Annelids (Phylum Annelida)
		Annelids range in size from the Giant Earthworms, of which Michrochaetus rappi (Michrochaetus michrochaetus) is the largest, this magnificent animal has an average length of 1.36 m (54 ins) and a record breaking specimen has been recorded that measured 6.7 metres (22 ft) in length, it was 2cm (0.8 ins) in diametre.
		Annelids are coelomate animals meaning they have a true coelom within their body.
		Annelids are coelomate animals (meaning they have a true coelom, even if this is reduced secondarily).

	Annelid
		Many annelids have some regenerative abilities, often to the point where each half of an adult divided cross-wise will survive.
		The arthropods and their kin have long been the closest relatives of the annelids, on account of their common segmented structure, but a number of differences between the two groups suggest this may be convergent evolution.
		The other major phylum which is of definite relation to the annelids are the molluscs, which share with them the presence of trocophore larvae.

	Annelid \| Biology
		Annelids, or true-segmented worms, are members of the animal phylum Annelida, the most complex of all wormlike groups of organisms.
		Annelids are commonly found in terrestrial, as well as marine, brackish, estuarine, and freshwater ecosystems worldwide.
		Most annelids are free-living, although several species have parasitic, mutualistic, or commensal relationships with other animals, and many species are commonly associated with aquatic and terrestrial plants.

	Annelida
		Earthworms and leeches are the familiar annelids for most people, but polychaetes comprise the bulk of the diversity of Annelida and are found in nearly every marine habitat, from intertidal algal mats downwards.
		Segments are formed sequentially in annelids and are established during development from growth zones located at the posterior end of the body; so the youngest segment in the body of an annelid is always the most posterior.

		Annelids (AN-uh-lidz) — the name comes from the Latin word meaning "little ring" — are segmented worms.
		There are thousands of species and three big groups thereof: the group including earthworms; their close cousins, leeches; and polychaetes (from Greek words meaning "many bristles").
		Some annelids reproduce asexually, by splitting off a bit of themselves.

	More on Annelid Morphology
		Annelids are coelomate animals; they have a fluid-filled body cavity in which the gut and other organs are suspended.
		Oligochaetes and polychaetes typically have spacious coeloms; in leeches, the coelom is reduced to a system of narrow canals, and archiannelids may lose the coelom entirely.
		The coelom is divided into separate compartments by partitions called septa, which give the "segmented worms" their segmented appearance.

	Annelid Introduction 2
		In locomotion, metamerism provides a more effective system for body movement; the body is divided into a consecutive series of motor units that can be controlled separately or in a wave of contraction.
		In annelids, the separation of the coelom by transverse septa means that the forces of muscular contraction are not transferred through the organism.
		The Classification of Annelids - There are three classes of living annelids: Class Polychaeta (marine worms), Class Oligochaeta (earthworms and some freshwater forms) and Class Hirudinea (leeches).
