Respiration in earthworms
Earthworms exhibit cutaneous respiration i.e. respiration by skin.
*Earthworms do not possess special organs for respiration.
*They always secrete slimy secretion on to the skin which keeps it moist.
*The skin in these animals is moist and slimy which makes it permeable for oxygen to diffuse in and carbon dioxide to diffuse out of the body.
*As the earthworms cannot breathe in waterlogged conditions, they come out on to the soil during rainy season to obtain oxygen required for respiration.
Hope its help!!!!
