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.
Segmented worms (Annelida) are a group of invertebrates that includes about 12,000 species of earthworms, ragworms and leeches. Segmented worms live in marine habitats such as the intertidal zone and near hydrothermal vents.egmented worms are divided into the following taxonomic groups: 1  Polychates-The polychaetes include about 12,000 species that are characterized by having multiple hairs on each segment. 2  They have nuchal organs on their neck that function as chemosensory organs.
