Answer:

The answer is False. Although sensitive cells are <u>more abundant</u> in the <u>anterior portion</u> of the annelid´s body, in general, they are arranged in all the segments.

Explanation:

Annelids, such as the earthworm, have a variety of sensory cells:    

  • <u>Mechanoreceptors</u>, disposed of in groups in <em><u>each segment</u></em> of their body.  
  • <u>Photoreceptors</u>: Light-sensitive cells. Although they are <em><u>located in the whole </u></em>body, they are <em><u>abundant in anterior and posterior segments</u></em>, concentrated in the intern and dorsal part of the epidermis.
  • <u>Humidity receptors</u> are the most sensitive cells and are <u>located in the first segments</u> of the earthworm body
  • <u>Chemoreceptors</u>: sensorial cells cumulus forming a prominent tubercle with prolongations that extends through the cuticle. These tubercles form three rings <em><u>in each segment</u></em> but are especially <em><u>abundant in the anterior part</u></em> of the body.

The tegument is very rich in free nervous terminations, which functions might be tactile.
