Earthworms breathe through the skin. Air can easily pass through the skin of an earthworm. Gases are exchanged through its moist skin and capillaries, where the oxygen is picked up by the hemoglobin dissolved in the blood and carbon dioxide is released. Earthworms can also use their skin to move water and salts by active transport.
The excretory organs of the earthworm are the nephridia.
Each nephridia is made up of a coiled tube that opens inside the earthworm's body cavity. The beginning of the coiled tube is called the nephridiostome and contains many fine hairs called cilia. The end of the tube is called the nephridiopore. As the earthworm eats food from the soil, the beneficial parts of the food are reabsorbed through the cilia in the nephridiostome.
