The spinal cord begins at the occipital bone and extends down to the space between the first and second lumbar vertebrae; it does not extend the entire length of the vertebral column.
Earthworms are invertebrates, lacking a skeleton. To support and shape the body, they are filled with coelomic fluid. Earthworms sometimes appear to have a belt or saddle around their bodies; this is a clitelum, a structure containing maturing eggs.
These Flatworm creatures are hermaphroditic, which simply means that they have both male and female reproductive organs, and that they are able to produce both sexually and asexually. Now, the creatures of the Platyhelminthes phylum do not contain a body cavity nor a circulatory system. The circulatory system is very crucial for many organisms, but the species in this phylum do no have this specific system.
