Description

Leeches are segmented parasitic or predatory worms that comprise the subclass Hirudinea within the phylum Annelida. They are closely related to the oligochaetes, which include the earthworm, and like them have soft, muscular segmented bodies that can lengthen and contract. Both groups are hermaphrodites and have a clitellum, but leeches typically differ from the oligochaetes in having suckers at both ends and in having ring markings that do not correspond with their internal segmentation. The body is muscular and relatively solid, and the coelom, the spacious body cavity found in other annelids, is reduced to small channels.

जळवा या ॲनेलिडा संघातील हिरुडिनिया वर्गातील जीव आहेत. बहुतेक जळवा गोड्या पाण्यात राहणाऱ्या आहेत; पण काही समुद्रातील माशांच्या, कूर्मांच्या किंवा क्रस्टेशियन (कवचधारी) प्राण्यांच्या शरीरावर परजीवी असतात व काही जमिनीवर दमट किंवा दलदलीच्या जागी राहतात. त्यांच्या शरीराच्या पुढच्या आणि मागच्या टोकावर एकेक शोषक असून त्यांचा उपयोग एखाद्या वस्तूला चिकटण्याकरिता आणि संचलनाकरिता होतो.
