Endocrine System of the Clam Worm
The Endocrine System of the Clam Worm is mainly responsible for reproductive glands and hormones. These include the ovaries and the testes, or sperm sacs. Male worms have testes, or sperm sacs and female worms have ovaries. These glands produce and carry the egg and sperm cells of the worm. It makes reproduction possible.
The seminal receptacle is also a key component in the Clam Worm's reproductive processes and endocrine system. The role of the seminal receptacle in the Clam Worm is to take in and store sperm cells produced by other Clam Worms. This is also where fertilization takes place; However, the embryo developes outside of the worm.
