Annelida has a central nervous cord that goes from the brain down the whole body, where it communicates important information from sensory organs and other important things, such as locomotion. {{courseNav.course.mDynamicIntFields.lessonCount}} lessons In addition, ganglia are fused and farther forward, and nerve cells, less abundant in the peripheral nervous system, are situated in the brain or ganglia so that the nerve cords consist only of nerve fibres. (B) After 192 h both roots are fused basally, forming a simple connective (cc, circle). Polychaete nervous systems, however, display a great variety of connective systems: the adult ventral nerve cord may possess 5 (for example, Dinophilidae, Fig. Furthermore, I thank my students Andreas Berenzen, Sonja Kreischer, Line Henning, Tanja Paulus, and Sindy Göbel for their valuable work, and Prof. Dr. Wilfried Westheide for inspiring discussions.
The cell bodies of sensory nerves are located beneath the surface epithelium; those of motor nerves are either within the ganglion or in separate parapodial ganglia. (3, 4) Complete fusion and backward shift of the brain leads to the oligochaetous arrangement.
These neuronal oscillators may form the basis for neuronal generators of rhythmic movements in other animals at higher levels of the phylogenetic scale.

During crawling, the contraction of muscles in one segment stimulates stretch receptors in the muscle. Because the neuronal organization behind these capabilities can be deduced, they may give an indication of the mechanisms underlying similar patterns of activity and behaviours at other levels of the phylogenetic scale. In oligochaetes such as the earthworm, the mouth opens into a muscular pharynx, which opens to the esophagus and then to a muscular gizzard. It is assumed that it originates from the circumesophageal connectives or from 5-HT-containing nerve cells located at the transition between these connectives and the ventral cord. Another pair of nerve cords—the visceral cords—leave the brain and run posteriorly to the visceral ganglia. Each segment must link together to move and to control the muscles. In response to a stimulus, the sensory neurons generate large excitatory postsynaptic potentials at both interneurons and motor neurons, causing the generation of action potentials in the motor neurons that in turn cause the gill to withdraw. These axons are capable of very rapid conduction of impulses to the segmental muscles; their main function is to permit the worm to contract very rapidly as a defense against predators. The nerve cord contains two types of nerve fibers; normal nerves and giant nerves. 2K). The nerve cord of the Articulata stem species might have been less condensed than previously thought; instead of 2, it may have had 5 connectives, and instead of 2, it may have had several commissures per segment. Two roots are visible. 4B; Westheide 1997) do not alter the hypothesis. The earthworm brain is a bilobed mass lying above the pharynx in the third body segment.
Unintended fusion during regeneration of fragments produced chimeric specimens of the polychaete D. bermudensis, enabling valuable observations (Müller 2004b).
The earthworm has a simple but sensitive nervous system. Secondary loss of the nerve during ontogeny is described for Nereis virens by Ushakova and Yevdonin (1985). The swimming movement, on the other hand, is generated by a neuronal network requiring many more cells. Nervous System: Home Marc > > > Devin > > > Vincent > > > Worksheet Annelids Annelids are large a large invertebrate phylum, examples are Polychaete worm, E arthworms, and L eeches. Immunohistochemical investigations [use of anti-5-HT (serotonin), FMRFamide, and acetylated α-tubulin antibodies] in combination with laser scanning microscopy enable more detailed reanalyses of known structures and detection of new characteristics that are useful for phylogenetic analyses.
The ventral nerve cord is surrounded by a fibrous sheath.This sheath acts as an anchor for the muscles. (I) Ventral view with pentaneuralian cord and lateral nerves (ln). Habituation of the escape response has been seen in polychaete worms, cockroaches, and crayfish. The recognition of Ecdysozoa and Lophotrochozoa implies that a rope-ladder nervous system has either developed twice or once but at an earlier time, before the separation of these 2 lineages. The system is enclosed in a blood sinus . 2I and J) are present in almost all annelidan subtaxa; in polychaetes they are missing in only 3 out of 28 species investigated (Müller 1999; Orrhage and Müller 2005). Tubulinergic (A–D, H–K), serotonergic (E) and FMRFamide-like (F, G) neuronal subsets of various annelids.
