Annelida
Annelida is composed of two words i.e. annulus which means ring and eidos which means form. Lamarck coined the term Annelida.
General characteristic features of phylum Annelida:
- They are elongated and metamerically segmented.
- They are mostly aquatic and some are terrestrial and burrowing. Few are ectoparasites sucking the blood from vertebrates.
- They are triploblastic.
- They are bilaterally symmetrical.
- It is true coelom type formed by mesoderm. Such coelom is called schizocoelous.
- It takes place by setae or parapodia or suckers.
- Nutrition is a holozoic type.
- The alimentary canal is straight and well developed. Digestion is entirely extracellular.
- Respiration takes place through a moist body surface by diffusion.
- Blood vascular system is closed type consisting of hearts and blood vessels.
- Excretion takes place through segmentally arranged nephridia.
- The body contains metameric segmentation.
- Presence of distinct head. The nervous system consists of a pair of cerebral ganglia and double solid ventral nerve cord.
- Reproduction is usually hermaphrodite. Some cases, there is unisexual. Fertilization is cross and internal.
- Development may be direct or indirect with the larval stage as trochophore.
Classification:
Annelida is classified into four classes on the basis of locomotory organs.

Polychaeta:
- Locomotory organs are parapodia.
- Mainly marine, some freshwater.
- Clitellum is absent.
- Sexes are separate.
- Fertilization is external. Development is indirect.
- Example: Nereis, Amphitrite
Oligochaeta:
- Locomotory organs are setae found in each segment.
- Mostly terrestrial, some fresh water.
- Clitellum is present.
- They are hermaphrodite.
- Fertilization is external, occurs in a cocoon.
- Development is direct.
- Example: Pheretima, Negascolen.

Hirudinea:
- Locomotory organs are suckers.
- Mostly freshwater and terrestrial, some marine.
- They are mostly ecoparasites having suckers.
- Clitellum is only seen during a breeding season.
- Fertilization is external, occurs in a cocoon.
- Example: Hirudinaria, Hirudo.
Arachiannelid:
- Segmentation is internal only.
- Exclusively marine.
- Parapodia and setae are present.
- Tentacles are present.
- Sexes are separate. Development is indirect.
- Example: Polygordius, Protgdrillus.
