In earthworms, the structure that functions similarly to the human heart is the dorsal blood vessel. This vessel acts as a pump, circulating blood throughout the worm's body. Unlike the human heart, which is a muscular organ, the dorsal blood vessel contracts rhythmically to propel the blood, helping to transport nutrients and oxygen to various tissues.
