Mechanoreceptors, disposed of in groups in each segment of their body.

Photoreceptors: Light-sensitive cells. Although they are located in the whole body, they are abundant in anterior and posterior segments, concentrated in the intern and dorsal part of the epidermis.

Humidity receptors are the most sensitive cells and are located in the first segments of the earthworm body

Chemoreceptors: sensorial cells cumulus forming a prominent tubercle with prolongations that extends through the cuticle. These tubercles form three rings in each segment but are especially abundant in the anterior part of the body.
