Many animals with bilateral symmetry also have some type of coelom. Coelom is the body cavity that is between the digestive system and the body wall. One of lophotrochozoans groups, annelids (or segmented worms) exhibits a coelom and segmentation. Segmentation allows for more complex movement because the body compartments are each controlled by separate muscles. Coelomates (those that have coelom) - annelids, arthropods, mollusks, echinoderms, and chordates. Annelids (or segmented worms) include: oligochaetes, polychaetes, and leeches. 5 hearts are specialized blood vessels that contract rhythmically.

Earthworms have a hydroskeleton is a structure consisting of a fluid-filled cavity, the coelom, surrounded by muscles. The pressure of the fluid and action of the surrounding muscles are used to change an organism"s shape and produce movement, such as burrowing and swimming.
