The prevailing religious attitudes of the period considered the body and soul to be separate entities, making dissection acceptable. But during the time of the Romans, the practice was banned. For the next 1,000 years, scientists were reduced to dissecting animals.

Among the most familiar invertebrate animals are the earthworms, members of the phylum Annelida. The word annelida means "ringed" and refers to a series of rings or segments that make up the bodies of the members of this phylum. Internally, septa, or dividing walls, are located between the segments. External segments are called metameres. There may be more than 100 segments in an adult worm. The clitellum is a swelling of the body found in sexual
You see the world because light gets into your eyes. Your eye uses that light to make an image of the world inside your eyejust as a camera uses light to make a photograph.
