Earthworms respirate through the skin. Earthworms have a dual transport system consisting of a fluid of fluid-moving fluid seloms and a simple closed circulatory system. It has central and peripheral nervous system.

The central nervous system consists of two ganglia over the mouth, one on either side, connected to a neural rope running back along its length to motor neurons and sensory cells in each segment. A large number of chemoreceptors are concentrated near his mouth. The circular and longitudinal muscles on the periphery of each segment allow the worms to move. The same set of intestinal line muscles, and their actions move the food digesting into the worm's anus
