In Pheretima, there are red coloured round bodies in `4^(th),5^(th)` and `6^(th)` segments above the alimentary canal. They are believed to be involved in

A

respiration

B

digestion

C

reproduction

D

leucocyte production

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In Pheretima, the red coloured bodies found in `4^(th),5^(th)` and `6^(th)` segments above the alimentary canal are called blood glands. These glands serve for the manufacture of blood corpuscles (leucocytes) and haemoglobin.
