A caterpillar's body is divided into three segments. The first segment is the head, the second segment is the thorax, and the third part of the body is the abdomen.
Annelids are creatures belonging to the phylum Annelida, which includes segmented worms such as earthworms and leeches. Annelids are characterized by their cylindrical bodies divided into repeating segments and a simple body structure with a complete digestive system.
ough. tapeworms and annelid are worms, leeches are not in the worm family. Leeches and earthworms are annelid worms. The name comes from the "ring"-like body segments. Leeches may not look like worms but they definitely are. Tapeworms are members of the flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes).

Leeches are classified in phylum Annelida because they have segmented bodies with repeated body segments. They also have a closed circulatory system and belong to the subclass Hirudinea within the phylum Annelida.
Leeches are annelids comprising the subclass Hirudinea. There are freshwater, terrestrial, and marine leeches. Like the Oligochaeta, they share the presence of a clitellum. Like earthworms, leeches are hermaphrodites. Some, but not all, leeches are hematophagous.Haemophagic leeches attach to their hosts and remain there until they become full, at which point they fall off to digest. A leech's body is composed of 34 segments. They all have an anterior (oral) sucker formed from the first six segments of their body, which is used to connect to a host for feeding, and also release an anesthetic to prevent the host from feeling the leech. They use a combination of mucus and suction (caused by concentric muscles in those six segments) to stay attached and secrete an anti-clotting enzyme, hirudin, into the host's blood stream.
Plain and simple... No. What they do have is 34 segments that make up its entire invertebrate body... Did you know that a leech can suck up 3x there weight in blood!
yes, annelids bodies are divided into segments xoxo
Arachnids have two body segments, the abdomen and......

Metameric segmentation is a characteristic feature of the phylum Annelida, which includes segmented worms such as earthworms and leeches. These animals have a linear series of body segments that are repeated along the length of their body.
