Locomotion of Earthworm
Meanings Of Locomotion In An Earthworm
← Locomotion means the act / power of moving from place to place, characteristic of the higher animals and some of the lower forms of plant life.
← Earthworm is any one of numerous annelid worms that burrow in soil and feed on soil nutrients and decaying organic matter or any worm of the genus Lumbricus and allied genera, found in damp soil.
Taxonomy and Geographic Origins Of Earthworm
← L.Terestris : Europe and America. ← Angleworm/Fishworm (used bait for angling) : Northern and Midland U.S and New England. ← Fishing Worm : Midland and Southern U.S. ← Wiggler : Southern U.S. ← Nightwalker : New England. ← Nightcrawler : Northern, North Midland and Western U.S. ← Dew Worm : Inland North and Canada. ← Red Worm : North Central, South Midland and Southern U.S. ← Lumbricidae : Temperate Northern Hemisphere from Vancouver Island, Canada to Japan, mostly Eurasia. ← Hormogastridae : Europe. ← Sparganophilidae : North America. ← Almidae : Africa, South America. ← Ocnerodrilidae : Central and South America, Africa. ← Acanthodrilidae : Africa, midland and southeastern North America, Central and South America, Australia and Oceania. ← Octochaetidae : Central/South America, western Africa, India, New Zealand, Australia. ← Exxidae : Central America/Caribbean. ← Megascolecidae : South East Asia, Australasia and Oceania, northwestern North America. ← Glossoscolecidae : Central and northern South America. ← Eudrilidae : Tropical Africa.
Introduction
Earthworm Locomotion and Its Importance To Soil
Lumbricus (earthworm) is an example of the phylum Annelida. The body of annelids is divided into sections by septa (membranes). Each section is a compartment. Its movement is a result of the action of body-wall muscles on incompressible fluids in the compartments (segments). Therefore, a compartment that contracts in diameter must simultaneously increase in length. There are
