The aortic arches (hearts) help pump blood around the body of the earthworm in a similar way to animals that have only one multi-chambered heart. Worm "hearts" don't have chambers. Worms also don't have lungs. They absorb oxygen through their skin and then it gets into their blood vessels. The dorsal blood vessel does a bit of the pumping work, with the hearts helping to keep blood pressure steady.

That's alot isn't it
