METAMERISM IN ANNELIDA
- In some animals body is divided into
a series of compoctment one behied the other.
- These componets are called segment.
- The inner arrengment of segment is
called metamerism.
CHARECTERSTICS OF METAMERISM
- In metamerism each segment is the
mirror image of other segment.
- Each segment contain nepharidia ,
blood vessels ,reprodactive organ ,nerve and muscle.
- The segment mark in coporation with
all orther segment.
TYPES OF METAMERISM
. A. True metamerism
- The segment of body is based on
segmentation mesoderm.
- It is found is all annelida charecter
and arthropods
- New segments are found at the
posterior and old segment occours at anterior.
B. Pseudometamerism
- The segment of body is based on
segmentation ectoderm.
- In pseudometamerism new segment are
found at
Hence the youngest occurs at the anterior end and oldsegment occours at
posterior.
- The segment behaves indipently their
is no corporation between segment.
C. Homonomous
- It the segment are similar is in
segmention is called homonous segment.
- The homonomus segmentation is not
found in existing animal.
- But few of the anterior segment are
always specialised ,this specialisation is called cephalisation.
- Homonomus is a primitive condition.
EX- Neris
D. Heteronomus --- If the segment are dis similsar in
segmentation is called heteronomus segments.
EX- Arthropoda and chordata
E. Externaly
metamerism
- In arthropoda metamerism is external.
- Internaly the segments are not marked
by any partition.
F. Externaly and internaly metamerism
- In annelida , the
segmentation is marked externaly as well as internaly.
- Internaly the
segments are separated by transvers patition ,called as septum.
G.
Complete metamerism
- When the segmention seen in all organ,
This metamerism is called as complet metamerism.
EX- Annelida
H. Incomplete metamerism
- When metamerism not seen in all organ,
This
metamerism is called as incomplete metamerism.
EX-
Arthropoda and Chordata
ORGAN OF METAMERISM
- There are many theory to explain the
origin of metamerism.
They are ;
a. Cornofission theory
- A/C to this theory the segmented
animal is really chain of individual zooids.
- Each zooids represent the single
segment.
- These zooids are by transveers
fission of an unsegmented ancestor.
- Zooids are united end to end.
b. Pseudometamerism in theory
- A/C to this theory the ancester was
unsegmented.
- It contain the body system separad
out along the length of the body.
- This unsegmented body become
segmented by development of septa.
c. Locomotary metamerism theory
- A/C to this theory the metamerism is
form by the breaking up of the body into segment as a result of swimming
movement.
SIGNIFICANCE OF METAMERISM
- Metamerism give many advantages for
the animal they are
I.
It
classifiecd locomotion
II.
Metamerism
offer division of labous.
