A brief summary of the lesson:

Phylum Annelida is a very broad phylum belonging to the kingdom Animalia. The Annelids
are found in aquatic as well as terrestrial environments. These are bilaterally symmetrical
invertebrate organisms. Their segmented body distinguishes them from any other organism.
Annelida are divided into three main classes, primarily on the basis of presence and absence
of parapodia, setae, metameres, and other morphological features. This lesson will discuss the
general characteristics of annelids and its classification into the 3 classes; Polychaeta,
Oligochaetes and Hirudinea.
