  1. BSC 2011L Platyhelminthes

  2. Animal Characteristics • Symmetry • Radiata – radial symmetry, diploblastic (2 tissues) • Bilateria – bilateral symmetry, triploblastic • Body Cavity • Acoelomates – no cavity • Psuedocoelomates – false coelom, not completely lined by mesoderm derived tissue • Coelomates – true coelom, room for organs in body cavity lined with mesoderm tissue • Protostomes – 1st embryonic opening becomes mouth • Deuterostomes – 1st embryonic opening becomes anus

  3. Phylum Platyhelminthes • Flatworms • Can be free living or parasitic • Hermaphroditic • Acoelomates • One opening • Digestion – gastrovascular cavity • Circulation – gastrovascular cavity

  4. Phylum Platyhelminthes
