Annelida

Annelids are the segmented worms, their body is divided into many segments which affects many of their basic functions. probably the most common annelid is the earthworm, found almost everywhere on land. Annelids have bilateral symmetry, and two body openings. Annelids can live on land or in water. The circulatory and nervous system work together in annelids the blood is carried in a blood vessel and conected to the nervous system. Annelids can reproduce by regenerating pieces of themselves that break off into new worms, or they can reproduce sexually either with seperate sexes or hermaphroditicly, both worms have both male and female organs, and both become fertilized.
