What else can I help you with?
Are the ventral nerve cord and ventral blood vessel connected?
no
Are the ventral nerve cord and the ventral blood vessel connected?
no
Is the dorsal blood vessel different from the ventral blood vessel in an earthworm?
yes.
What is the function of the ventral blood vessel of a worm?
Blood vessel on the bottom of a worm Blood vessel on the bottom of a worm
What is the dorsal blood vessel and the ventral blood vessel?
I always got dorsal (down the back or spine) and ventral (down the underside) confused, until I thought of an easy way to remember it. The ventral goes down to where the animal "vents" (poops). So the dorsal blood vessel is the vessel that runs down the back, while the ventral blood vessel runs down the underside.
Is the dorsal blood vessel or ventral blood vessel larger in earthworms?
I think its dorsal. REALLY sure.
What is the function ventral blood vessel?
The ventral blood vessel is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body of certain invertebrate animals, such as earthworms. It is a part of the circulatory system and helps transport oxygen and nutrients to various tissues and organs.
The dorsal and ventral blood vessel are part of what system?
digestive
What blood vessel carries blood away from the heart of a earthworm?
There are two. The main one which is viewable through the skin is the dorsal blood vessel. The smaller one found under the intestine is the ventral blood vessel.
Dorsal blood vessel?
Blood moves through the ventral blood vessel to the posterior of the body and through the dorsal vessel to the anterior of the body. The dorsal blood vessel contracts to push the blood back and then forward to the ventral vessel where a series of aortic arches act as hearts to move blood forward to the anterior end and through the capillaries.
What is function of aortic arches of earthworms?
The function of an earthworm's aortic arches are to pump blood to the ventral blood vessel and into the body.
What is the pathway of the blood through the parts of the earthworm's ciruclatory system?
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.
