    The Annelida are a medium sized phylum of more than 9,000 species of worms. Most species prefer aquatic environments, but there are also a number of well know terrestrial species. Only a few species of annelids are commonly known to human beings, these include the delightful Rain, Dew or Earthworms that work so hard to make our soils healthy, the Ragworms and Lugworms used by marine fishermen and the much smaller Tubifex or Red worms used by aquarists to feed their fish. In many countries people are still familiar with Medicinal leeches, and people who live closer to nature are naturally more familiar with a much wider range of Annelids than those who live in cities.Despite the amazing and delicate beauty of polychaetes such as the Fan Worms, and the huge (really beyond estimation) economic debt owed by mankind to the Oligochaete Earthworms for their work in soil creation and maintenance many people still fail to appreciate their true wonder and beauty. The earthworms, of which there are many species, are exceedingly important in soil creation, particularly in temperate areas. Without them, agriculture and perhaps the whole of human society as we know it would never have evolved. Like so much of the unnoticed invertebrate world earthworms are essential to our very existence. In marine environments the numerous species of Polychaetes play a fundamentally important role in the maintenance of food chains and the whole ecological balance of the seas, thus supporting the seemingly endless stocks of fish we like to eat.

    ANNELIDA
    Introduction
    Annelida are segmented worms also known as ringed worms. Segments are
    formed by subdivisions that partially transect the body cavity also known as
    metamerism. Each segment contains body elements such as circulatory, nervous, and
    excretory tracts. Through segmentation, it increases the efficiency of body movements
    and development of greater complexity in general body organization through
    hydrostratic pressure. They are schizocoelus and with large well-developed true
    coelom. They also have well-developed internal organs and can be either monoecious
    or dioecious. Members of Phylum Annelida can be found throughout the world in
    marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environment. They range from passive filter feeders
    to voracious and active predators. Annelids include earthworms, polychaete worms, and
    leeches.
    Objectives
    1. In studying Phylum Annelida, an earthworm must be properly dissected.
    2. To study and to familiarize with the body parts and internal organs of the
    earthworm.
    3. To know about the Phylum Annelida.
    Procedure
    1. Prepare the live earthworm and dissecting kit and gloves.
    2. Dissect the earthworm and careful not to slice an organ.
    3. Clean the earthworm and study each internal organ.
