BIO Lab 18: Dissection Of The Earthworm - Catholic Texts
BIO Lab 18: Dissection of the Earthworm The Earthworm Harken to me, you that know what is just, my people who have My law in their heart: Fear not the reproach of men and be not afraid of their blasphemies. For the worm shall eat them up as a garment.: But My salvation shall be forever, and my justice from generation to generation. Isaiah 51:7-8 Introduction The earthworm is an animal belonging to the phylum Annelida and characterized by a tubelike body which contains over 100 segments. There are several thousand types of earthworms. The Lumbricus terristus is widely distributed and the most familiar species as it is frequently found on the surface of the ground. The L. terristus has an average life span of about 6 years and typically grow to between 10 and 30 centimeters in length. The L. terristus is mostly herbaceous, eating plant material such as dead leaves, roots and stems. However, they also feed on microoganisms in the soil and decaying animal tissue. They primarily feed at night, thus earning them the common name, “night crawlers”. A set of terms have been developed over the decades for scientists to discuss the anatomy of an organism. These anatomical terms refer to the relative position of one body part to another. For example, inferior means one body is below another part. We relate two body parts by these directional terms such as: “the nose is inferior to the forehead”, and; “the knee is superior to the toes”. Table 1 contains a list of anatomical terms and directions. As you view the video, keep these terms and directions in mind. The figure to the right should assist you. Learning Objectives: Learn the organs that comprise the various systems of the earthworm Describe the external anatomy Utilize anatomical terms and directions Materials Required: From Biology Kit Student Supplied Introductory Dissection Kit Earthworm Dissection Guide Earthworm Safety Dissection tools are very sharp. Use appropriately and do not leave unattended in the presence of children. 2016 Catholic Initiatives in Math and Science, LLC All Rights Reserved 1

Complete Table 1: For each anatomical term or direction, relate two structures of the earthworm The first two have been done for you as an example Note: Although two terms may mean the opposite of each other, do not merely turn the structures around For example: anterior is the opposite of posterior In the first set, we said, “The prostonium is anterior to the clitellum” o However, we did NOT give for an example for posterior -- “The clitellum is posterior to the prostonium” o But, a different set of structures was utilized 11.

Most cutting in dissection is done with scissors rather than a scalpel. Most of the actual dissection involves the forceps, probe, and fingers. These instruments are used to tear, separate, and move or lift parts instead of cutting them. 4. Read the following rules for dissection: Before beginning a dissection, identify all external parts
