How many nephridiopores are in each segment of the earthworm?
Except for the first and last segments, which have no setae, there are eight tiny bristle-like structures that can not be seen with the naked eye called setae on each segment of an earthworm. The arrangement of the setae is one factor that helps in the identification of earthworms, as they can be closely or widely paired in four pairs or separate. Setae grip the soil to help the earthworm move about and sense the enviroment.
What is the difference in appearance between a young and mature Lumbriculus?
My best guess would be the number of segments. If an adult can have from 150 segments to 250, then maybe a young one has less than that number.
What is the number of segments for a spider?
They have two body segments and four leg segments.
How many line segments does 78 points have?
Any number between 1 and 3003 (inclusive).
Do all oranges have the same number of segments?
No all organs don't have same number of segments
How many segments does a segment have?
You can divide a segment into an infinite number of smaller segments.
Does an orange have an even number of segments?
It depends on the orange. The number of segments usually range from 9-11. So if there are 10, then, yes, it would be an even number.
How many segments are between the mouth and clitellum of an earthworm?
Earthworm Anatomy - External FeaturesInvertebratesEarthworms are invertebrates. That is, they do not have a backbone. Insects, sea stars, spiders, jellyfish, and millipedes are other examples of invertebrate animals.SegmentsStudy the illustration of an earthworm shown below. You will notice that earthworms have long, cylindrical body that is divided into similar segments. The grooves that extend around the body of the worm show the arrangement of the segments.Some species of earthworms have a body composed of over 100 segments. How many segments does your earthworm have?SymmetryEarthworms have bilateral symmetry. This means that if you cut the earthworm down the centerline, the left side of the body would be identical to the right side.Body ColoursOne of the key features of an earthworm is the colour of its body. Some species of earthworms have a dark-red or red-violet body while other species are muddy-green. However, there are species that do not have these colours. For the purposes of Worm Watch, these animals are said to have "other body colours."ProstomiumSome species of earthworms have a tongue-like lobe above the mouth called prostomium. The prostomium is actually a sensory device. Earthworms do not have a nose, eyes, ears, or hands to gather sensory information about their environment. Instead, they depend on their prostomium and sensory receptors in their skin to "feel" their way through the soil.PeristomiumThe first body segment is called the peristomium. The peristomium contains the mouth.ClitellumAdult (sexually mature) earthworms have a distinct swelling called a clitellum. It is located about one-third of the way down the earthworm. The clitellum is often white or orange in colour. It produces most of the material secreted to form earthworm cocoons. The clitellum forms a band that can be flared, non-flared, saddle-shaped, or annular. It is generally found between segments 26 and 33.The clitellum is only found on adult worms. Young or juvenile worms do not have a clitellum. The clitellum of each species of earthworm has a distinct colour, size, and shape. Another key structure found on the clitellum is the tubercula pubertatis.The diagram shows the shape and structure of the clitellum. They may have any combination of shapes.Tubercula Pubertatis (TP)The tubercula pubertatis (TP) is another structure used to identify earthworms. The TP are glandular swellings located on both sides of the clitellum. They can assume a variety of shapes such as long and narrow, triangular, or sucker-like.The shape and location of the tubercula pubertatis (TP) on the clitellum are key features used to identify mature earthworms.]Genital Tumescences (GT)The genital tumescences (GT) are areas of modified epidermis (skin) that do not have distinct boundaries. These are openings through which follicles of genital setae open.The pattern and location of the GT are important clues to identifying different species of earthworms.]AnteriorLocate the clitellum of a mature earthworm. The shorter region to one side of the clitellum is the anterior or head-end of the animal. This end of the worm is usually more pointed than the posterior end of the animal.The prostomium is the first segment at the anterior end of the animal.PosteriorLocate the clitellum of a mature earthworm. The longer region is the posterior or tail end of the earthworm.DorsalThe top-side of an animal is called the dorsal surface. For example, the fin you see in all shark movies shows the dorsal fin of a shark just before it attacks. The dorsal surface of some species of earthworms is darker than its ventral surface.VentralThe bottom-side of an animal is called the ventralsurface. In many animals, the ventral surface is a lighter colour or shade than the dorsal surface.PeriproctThe periproct is the last segment of an earthworm.SetaeEach segment, except the first and last, have tiny bristle-like structures called setae. These structures help the earthworm to move and act to sense the environment.The number and arrangement of setae are important clues to the identification of earthworms.]EpidermisThe epidermis is the name for the skin of an earthworm. It is the outer layer of worm and it secretes a mucous.I have been currrently studying this subject A clearwater community college so if you like this information you should visit this link http://www.icewatch.ca/english/wormwatch/resources/anatomy.html
What is the number of segments determined by n points is?
The answer depends on whether the n points are on a line and you are interested in linear segments or whether they are on the circumference of a circle and you are interested in the number of segments that the circle is partitioned into. Or, of course, any other shape.
how many endpoints are needed to draw ten line segments?
You need any number between 10 to 20 distinct end points.
How many symbols can you make with a 7 LED grid?
In a 7 segment display, the symbols can be created using a selected number of segments where each segment is treated as a different element.When 1 segment is used, the possible positions are 7because it can be any of the 7 segments (7C1=7).When 2 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C2=21.When 3 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C3=35When 4 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C4=35When 5 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C5=21When 6 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C6=7When 7 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C7=1Adding the combinations, 7+21+35+21+7+1=127Therefore, 127 symbols can be made using a 7 segment display!
