How much blood the heart pumps for every square meter of surface area (cardiac index) varies with the age of the individual. For children ages 10Â­13, the average cardiac index is 2.75 liters/m 2 /minute at a resting state. Multiply your body surface area by the cardiac index (2.75 l/m 2 /minute) to determine the liters of blood pumped by your heart in one minute (cardiac output). 2 /minute= ____liters per minute. How does your volume per minute compare to a 2 liter beverage bottle? .
Locomotion in Annelida Before we discuss the details of locomotion in annelids, we have to recapitulate the major subdivisions of the phylum Annelida.Phylum Annelida contains Polychaeta, Oligochaeta and Hirudinea.ocomotor structures. So, Locomotion is the result of co-ordinate effort of all these. Locomotion in Annelida. Before we discuss the details of locomotion in annelids, we have to recapitulate the major subdivisions of the phylum Annelida.
Because of this fluid, annelids have a firmness similar to that of water balloons. In addition, muscles in the outer tube give the annelid the ability to move, with an epidermis serving as a protective covering. Classes and Examples of Annelids. There are three classes within phylum Annelida. First, we will take a look at Oligochaeta, the class containing the ever-popular earthworm (as well as many aquatic worms). Earthworms are often used in dissection labs to observe and analyze body parts of animals in this phylum.
