Earthworms respire and take in oxygen directly from the skin and releases co2 from the skin as well.
It has no vascular system so it gets all it's oxygen through diffusion through it's skin if that's what you mean. In other terms its individual cells respire just as any other animal cells would.
Earthworms breathe through their moist skin. Gas exchange takes place directly there.
The Earthworm's body has to stay moist & slimy because it allows oxygen to be diffused from air through the skin. This allows the worm breath because they do not have lungs.
They do not breathe as we do- they take in oxygen directly through their skin, and give off carbon dioxide the same way.
They use their skin [integument] to support the process of gaseous exchange known as transpiration.
Through their pores.
Diffusion allows an earthworm to get the oxygen it needs to survive. Remember, an earthworm needs oxygen just like we do, and its cells are constantly using oxygen to perform cell processes. This means the amount of oxygen inside the earthworm will always be less (lower concentration) than the area outside of the earthworm (higher concentration). This is great news for the earthworm! New oxygen from the environment is constantly diffusing into the cell to replace the oxygen that is used up.
hope this helps, :)

The earthworm, is, in fact, a mammal. Earthworms, or the genus mammilus wormisammaliasis, breathe out of a lung-related apparatus, unique to the wormisammaliasis. This apparatus, known coincidentally as their cigarette, is the only means for the earthworm to help for breathe. You're welcome.
through out the wholes of his body and i am Julie faltisek boo yeah
Earthworms do not have lungs. They directly absorb oxygen into their bodies through their skin.

What is fascinating about an earthworm?
Earthworms respire and take in oxygen directly from the skin. Perspiration, sweating, happens with holes called nephridia that let out the sweat from the body. In the fall, earthworms go below the frost-line to migrate. They also hibernate down in the soil around six feet deep.
How do earthworms from the phylum Annelida acquire oxygen?
air comes in through the soil so they have oxygen this is a good website for earthworm info http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761578402/Earthworm.html I believe they respire through their skin.

Yes, the can photosynthesize and respire at the same time.
How does fishes respire in water?
