What is the function of the prostomium?

Prostomium (sometimes also called acron) is the first body segment in annelids worms. It is in front of (but does not include) the mouth, being usually a small shelf- or lip-like extension over the dorsal side of the mouth. It sometimes bears antennae and eyes. By feeding, it often functions like a kind of overlip. The shape and composition of prostomium are important for annelid systematics.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostomium
