This document provides an outline about the key characteristics of annelids. It discusses how annelids transport nutrients both externally using setae and internally using a closed circulatory system. It also describes their hermaphroditic reproduction, respiration through their body wall or gills, and homeostasis through combining oxygen and amino acids. The general structure of annelids includes a brain, anus, hearts, nerve cord, mouth, esophagus, and crop.
