By movement we usually mean displacement from one place to another. In case of animals movement means simply moving body or limb - that is, change their position. Locomotion means movement of animals from one place to other.
Earthworms have liquid skeletons. They have liquid trapped in spaces inside the body. The muscles squeeze against the liquid. This keeps the body firm. The earthworm first extends the front part of its body, keeping the rear part fixed to the ground. Next, it fixes the front part and shortens it, thus pulling the rear end forward.It has a long cylindrical body made up of many rings or segments joined end to end. It carries out such expansion and contraction of muscles repeatedly to move forward. There are two types of muscles in an earthworm's body - circular and longitudinal muscles. When circular muscles contract, the segments become long and thin. When longitudinal muscles contract, the segments become short and thick.
To move, first the earthworm contracts the circular muscles of the front segments. As a result, the front part of the body becomes long and moves a little ahead by withdrawing the bristles from the ground. Then, the longitudinal muscles of the front part of the earthworm contract and segments become short and thick. The bristles of the front part now grip the ground and the segments in the rear part of the earthworm become thin and long due to contraction of circular muscles.

A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
