In an earthworm dissection, the major organ systems that can be identified include:1. **Digestive System**: This includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, crop, gizzard, intestine, and anus.2. **Circulatory System**: Earthworms have a closed circulatory system with dorsal and ventral blood vessels and aortic arches (often referred to as "hearts").3. **Nervous System**: This consists of the cerebral ganglion (brain), ventral nerve cord, and segmental ganglia.4. **Excretory System**: Composed of nephridia, which are responsible for excreting waste.5. **Reproductive System**: Includes seminal vesicles, seminal receptacles, and clitellum, which are involved in reproduction.These systems work together to support the earthworm's life processes.
