This image shows the middle region of a preserved earthworm.  Note the dorsal blood vessel (which has been injected with red latex) and ventral nerve cord that carries information from a pair of cerebral ganglia that serve as a "brain" to all segments of the worm. The large, muscular intestine is also visible on the display.
