Ascaris

Describe the functions of the Ascaris. If someone were to examine the Ascari (dissected) what would he/she see, some stuff that they would see would be mouth, pharynx, intestine, anus, ovary, oviduct, uterus, vagina, and the two pores. So my question is what do these structures do for the Ascaris? What are the similarities and differences between Ascaris, earthworm, and the clam? Also, how is the body plan of Ascaris adaptive in view of its parasitic mode of life?
