Phylum Annelida Introduction Annelids (segmented worms) are extremely successful and have invaded terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats. They include familiar forms such as earthworms and leeches and many diverse marine organisms.
The phylum Annelida, segmented worms, is characterized by the possession of a coelom (body cavity), setae (moving bristles), and a body divided into segments by transverse rings.
Comprehensive information on these organisms and their phylogenetic relationships from the Tree of Life Web Project, with photographs of several species.

These are the most highly developed helminths, having segmented bodies, a circulatory system, nephridia (part of a primitive excretory system, but still much more advanced than the flame cells of, for example, the Platyhelminthes), a highly developed digestive system, and a primitive brain.
