There are three major annelid classes: Name them
>Class Polychaeta are the polychaetes worms >Class Oligochaeta are the earthworms offland and freshwater habitats >Class Hirudinea are the leeches.
Habitats of the worms in the class Polychaeta
They live under rocks, in crevices, shells, in sediment, a few planktonic
Polychaete
Marine Annelids that have paired paddle like appendages (parapodia) tipped with setae
Polychaete head parts
well differentiated, with good sense organs...many settae
Prostomium
Most anterior part of worm body.
Prostomium Characteristics
Sometimes retractable, holds eyes, tentacles, sensory palps. Proboscis is what comes out pf prostomium when the jaws are showing. It surrounds the mouth, has setae, palps, and chitinous jaws in predatory forms

Foregut, Midgut, & Hindgut
Polychaete mobile species vs. sedentary species feeding habits
mobile species - scavenger or predators sedentary species - usually filter feeders
use of parapodia within class polychaetes
Used along side gills for they are used for gas exchange. Some small species can use diffusion across the body.
kidney characteristics among polychaetes
3 types of kidneys depending on species 1. protonephridia 2. metanephridia 3. mixture of both the nephrostome opens into the coelom.
nerve characteristic
**DOUBLE ventral nerve cord...rare quality, we only have one!**
t/f polychaetes possess eyes, statocysts, nuchal organs...
T. They have everything from simple eye spots to eyes with good visual acuity and complicated structures (w. lens & cornea) The Nuchal pits are chemoreceptive --->    [(chemoreceptor) a sensory receptor that responds to chemical stimuli]
