How does an earthworm move without any legs?
Earthworms are invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone. In fact, they don't have any kind of bones, legs, eyes, or teeth. They feel wet, slimy, and squishy.While earthworms do not have legs, they do have muscles. They have muscles that circle their body and muscles that go from one end to the other.The circular muscles allow the worm to make its body wider or more narrow.The longitudinal muscles can shorten or lengthen the worm's body.Using their muscles, earthworms crawl by lengthening its front part and pushing forward through the soil.Notice how skinny the worm looks when its front end moves forward. Remember that the longitudinal muscles push the worm forward and the circular muscles squeeze the worm's body inward. Working together, these different muscles move part of the worm forward. When this is happening, tiny bristles called setaeon the underside of the worm hold the rear part of the worm in place.Once the front part has pushed forward, the front setae hold the worm in place and the rear setae turn loose. Now the worm is in position to pull its rear end forward.Notice how fat the rear end becomes as the worm's circular muscles relax and its longitudinal muscles contract. The rings of the earthworm expand and contract much like the coils of a slinky.

The head is the end of the worm that is closest to its clitellum (or, the band-like swelling which secretes a viscous fluit to coat and protect its eggs); if no clitellum is visible, you can put the worm down and observe the direction in which it crawls, and the head is leading it.

Yes. The anterior is the "head end". Th clitellum is closest to the anterior.
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.
