passes below the stomach and intestine, and has usually a ganglion 

 in each segment of the body, — so that the articulate structure is in-

 segment or ring containing a nervous ganglion and a portion of the 

 viscera. In some worms the segments are so far independent that 

 the animals multiply by spontaneous fission.
