What are the bristlelike structures on annelids called?

What animal has setae but lacks parapodia?
Earthworms
What can earthworms cling to soil with?
Earthworms cling to soil using their setae, which are tiny bristles located on their body. These setae help the earthworms move through the soil by gripping and anchoring onto the soil particles. This allows the earthworms to burrow efficiently and navigate through their environment.
What kind of worms have setae to aid in locomotion?
Earthworms
How does the setae help the earthworm adapt?
Well the setae is what allows earthworms to move thorugh the dirt and stuff :)
How many setae are on a worm?
The earthworms has 4 seate's on each segment.
What is the function of the setae on a worm?
Setae in annelids are stiff bristles present on the body. They help for example earthworms to attach to the surface and prevent backsliding during peristaltic motion. These hairs are what make it difficult to pull a worm straight from the ground. (finzio liflio)
Do most annelids have external bristles called setae?
Yes, most annelids have external bristles called setae. Animals like earthworms use them to help them move.
What are the small stiffened bristles that give earthworms traction as they burrow through the soil is known as?
Setae
What are the small bristles earth worms have?
The small bristles on earthworms are called setae. The setae are small spines which are projected from the body wall by muscles to act as anchors in the surface that the worm is moving along. The muscle can also retract the setae when it is not required.
What way do earthworms often use their setae?
to anchor themselves to the ground when a bird tries to pull them away
Are worms smooth?
