Parapodia are found on polychaete annelids, which are marine worms characterized by their numerous bristle-like extensions called chaetae on each body segment. These parapodia aid in locomotion and respiration.
The bearded fireworm belongs to the phylum Annelida, which consists of segmented worms.
There are three different groups of animals known as "worms": flatworms (phylum: Platyhelminthes), roundworms (phylum: nematoda), and segmented worms (phylum: annelida).
Feather-duster worms belong to the phylum Annelida.
Parapodia are paddle-like structures found on the sides of certain marine worms and mollusks. They are used for locomotion and breathing, with rows of setae (bristles) that help the organisms move through the water.
A leech belongs to the phylum Annelida, which includes segmented worms.
It is the phylum of kinds of worms known as the roundworms.
Parapodia are lateral extensions found on the segments of polychaete worms, serving multiple functions. They play a crucial role in locomotion, allowing these worms to swim or crawl through their marine environments. Additionally, parapodia facilitate gas exchange and can aid in the movement of water over the body surface, enhancing respiration. In some polychaetes, they also assist in capturing prey or functioning as sensory structures.
