About the site

This material is to assist you with studying for lab. The BEST way to study is to use this as a supplement when you are away from the lab. To do well, you need to also be able to identify these things (slides, display, dissections) on the exam. That means that it is IMPORTANT that you complete all of the dissections, and go into the lab as much as possible so that you can identify the materials when they are not on a computer screen.

GOOD LUCK!!

Addition to Annelida 11/28/06
















The thing to remember about the earthworm dissection is that it is Class Oligochaeta. Also, try to remember the structures in order as they go down the length of the worm.

2 pairs of nephridia (excretion) can be found per segment.
