MCQ ON EARTHWORM is useful for NEET / CSIR / UGC / CBSE / ICSE / AIIMS / EXAM / AFMC EXAM / STATE LEVEL MEDICAL EXAM/ KVS PGT BIOLOGY / NVS PGT BIOLOGY EXAM 2022-2023,2024

INTRODUCTION:-
Earthworm is a reddish brown terrestrial invertebrate that inhabits the upper layer of the most soil.During day time , they live in burrows made by boring and swallowing the soil.In the gardens , they can traced by their faecal deposits known as worm castings.The common Indian earthworms are Pheretima and Lumbricus.

Morphology:-
Earthworm have long cylindrical body.The body is divided into more than hundred short segments which are similar metameres about 100-120 in number.

The dorsal surface of the body is marked by a dark median mid dorsal line along the longitudinal axis of the body.The ventral side is distinguished by the presence of genital pores.Anterior end consists of the mouth and the prostomium , a lobe which serves as a covering for the mouth and as wedge of force open cracks in the soil into which the earthworm may crawl.
The prostomium is sensory in function.

The first body segment is called the peristimium which contains the mouth .
In mature worm , segments 14-16 are covered by a prominent dark band of glandular tissue called clitellum.

Thus the body is divisible into three prominent region preclitellar, clitellar and postclitellar segments.
