Pharyngeal constrictor muscles (superior, middle and inferior)
When the circular muscles of an earthworm contract, the segments of its body become thinner and longer, causing the earthworm to elongate and appear stretched out.
Circular muscles help in extension and narrowing of the body of the earthworm. When circular muscles contract the protractor muscles relax causing the retractor muscles to contract, thus withdrawing the setae.
Yes they can they use there muscles in there back

The main purpose of the pharyngeal constrictor muscles is to allow food received through the larynx to pass through the esophagus. this is achieved when the elevator muscles relax, the pharynx descends and the constrictors contract upon the bolus of food. Bolus- a mass of food that has been chewed.
An earthworm's excretory system contains pairs of integumentary, septal, and pharyngeal nephridia. Each nephridia is located in a different segment of the body.

The pharynx is an anatomical region that is located posterior to the oral and nasal cavities. There are muscles that make up the pharynx including the superior pharyngeal constrictor, the palatopharyngeus, stylopharyngeus and salpingopharyngeus. It's more of a muscular tube than an actual muscle.
