What are the parts of a worm?

The worm is first both male and female the worm is in kingdom Animalia. The worm if you look at on and turn it over on its ventral side (bottom) you will see not to far away from the anterior side which is closet to the mouth the clitellum, it looks little lighter than the rest of the worm and it is not very long. the clitellum is a barrel shaped swelling that starts at the thirty second segment on the worm. this structures aids in the reproduction. Also it can tell us what side is the head and the tail. Talking about the head and the tail there are two different names for the head and the tail end of the worm, the head is called the anterior end and the tail is the posterior end of the tail. Now the first part of the worm is the mouth, the mouth sucks in dirt and then goes to the pharynx ,then through esophagus then trough the crop and then the gizzard and then the intestine then through the rest of the body. worms have two blood vessels dorsal and ventral blood vessel. the dorsal is top and ventral is bottom of the worm. The aortic arches help regulate the blood flow to the dorsal and ventral blood vessels. The nervous system, the worm has a ventral nerve chord running on the ventral side of its body. Telling it what type of surface its on. The worm can tell hot from cold that's why the stay in the dirt to keep cool, that's why is you ever saw a worm dried out on the side walk its because it needs the cool dirt to keep it cool. those are alot of the parts of the worn hope you learned alot from this.

What happens if you cut a worm in half?

a planaria worm will grow back in to two separate worms What it says below is not true kind of. Today I cut a worm in half, at first I thought I killed it but then I noticed The tail side started moving around. You know a cats tail well it was moving like that but really fast around the ground. The head side just took off like a normal worm through the grass. I took both sides of the worm home and noticed after 3 or 4 hours that the head part grew its tail back and it was now just a short wimpy worm. The tail part did not grow back though, it simpley died after 3-4 hours. So now you know that if you cut a worm in half it will not make 2 worms just simpley heals it self after hours and the other half stops moving... :) The worm dies a very painful death. It is pure myth that it creates two worms as if you take a time to look up what makes a worm you will see it does indeed have a top and a bottom, so to speak. So, don't rush out and think if i cut this worm in half he will have a little friend to hang out with....coz he wont! :)
