Prostomium, Segmented trunk and Pygidium

The head
12 of 28
What is in the Segmented trunk?
Chaeta
13 of 28
What is the Pygidium?
Posterior end with Anus

What are the benefits of Segmentation?
Regional specialisation for specific roles. Segmentation of coelom=more efficient burrowing. Reduced Damage
15 of 28
How does a segmented coelom lead to more efficient burrowing?
Each segment acts individually in isolation which refines movement. only necessary segments move, saving energy
16 of 28
How does segmentation reduce damage?
Septa between segments= compartmentalisation, damaged coelom, only fluids from that segment are lost

What is a major component of Chaeta?
Chitin

Sexually and Asexually
25 of 28
