Chapter 40.2, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To describe: The way in which septa in annelid worms contribute to the effectiveness of its hydrostatic skeleton.
Introduction: Many annelids have a hydrostatic skeleton, which works on the principle of hydrostatic pressure. Septa are muscular partitions, creating segments in the bodies of annelids and helping in their locomotion.
