Earthworms intake oxygen through their skin into the blood of their dorsal vessel. The dorsal vessel carries the oxygenated blood towards the aortic arches in the front of the worm. The aortic arches serve as the worm's heart, pumping blood through the ventral vessel toward the rear of the worm. Smaller vessels carry the blood from the ventral vein to the tissues and back to the dorsal vein.
All Vertebrates
Earthworms do not have respiratory systems. They exchange oxygen through their skin.
Earthworms don't have spines, so their nerves don't travel through there.
Earthworms have a "closed" circulatory system that is coelemic fluid that flows through its body. Earthworms also respirate through their skin, and are true hermaphrodites.

Earthworms breath through their skin, earthworms diffuse oxygen through a network of thin-walled capillaries which are found just under the skin.
Arteries are blood vessels that are located all around the body. Their function is to transport blood, with oxygen, around the body.

Large intestine Mouth Small intestine Stomach
The pathway of oxygen is like a tube or pipe in the breathing system.
first the food passes through your esophagus then to your small intestines and then your large intestines
