Annelida: 1. Segmented body with distinct body segments called annuli. 2. Bilaterally symmetrical body. 3. Possess a coelom, a fluid-filled body cavity surrounded by mesoderm. 4. Have a closed circulatory system with blood vessels. 5. Possess a well-developed nervous system with a brain and nerve cords. 6. Have a complete digestive system with a mouth and anus. 7. Most species have setae, bristle-like structures on their body for movement and burrowing. 8. Reproduce sexually, with most species having separate sexes.
Arthropoda: 1. Exoskeleton made of chitin that provides protection and support. 2. Segmented body with distinct body regions: head, thorax, and abdomen. 3. Bilaterally symmetrical body. 4. Jointed appendages for movement and feeding. 5. Open circulatory system with a heart and hemolymph. 6. Well-developed nervous system with a brain and ventral nerve cord. 7. Have compound eyes for vision. 8. Most species undergo metamorphosis during their life cycle. 9. Reproduce sexually, with a variety of mating behaviors and reproductive strategies.

Annelida
- Metamerism: Segmented body divided into identical segments, each containing a ganglion and other organs. - Coelomate: Have a true body cavity lined with mesothelium. - Bilaterally symmetrical: Dorsal-ventral and left-right symmetry. - Annelid Parapodia: Paired, fleshy outgrowths on the sides of most segments for locomotion and respiration. - Closed circulatory system: Blood flows through vessels, not open spaces. - Excretion: Nephridia (small tubes) for excretion. - Reproduction: Mostly sexual, with separate sexes; some species can reproduce asexually by fragmentation.
Arthropoda
- Metamerism: Segmented body, but segments may be fused or modified for specific functions. - Exoskeleton: Hard, chitinous outer covering that protects the body and provides support. - Jointed appendages: Paired, jointed appendages used for locomotion, feeding, reproduction, and other functions. - Open circulatory system: Blood flows through open spaces (hemocoel) within the body. - Tracheal or Gill Respiration: Gas exchange occurs through tracheae (air tubes) or gills. - Malpighian tubules: Excretion occurs through these tubules within the digestive tract. - Reproduction: Mostly sexual, with separate sexes; some species can reproduce asexually.
