Characteristics of Flatworms
• They are acoelomates
(they don’t have body
cavities)
• They have bilateral
symmetry
• Show cephalization
• Single opening to
digestive tract (pharynx)
– Protostomes
Characteristics cont.
• Simplest animals to have 3 germ layers.
• Triploblastic
• Because they are
flat, all cells are
close to the
animal’s external
surface.
• All flatworms
rely on diffusion
for:
• respiration
• excretion
• circulation.

Digestive System
• Most parasitic worms do not need a
complex digestive system…WHY?
• They obtain nutrients from foods that
have already been digested by their
host.

Movement
• Free-living flatworms move in two ways:
• Cilia on their epidermal cells help them glide through the water and over
the bottom of a stream or pond.
• Muscle cells controlled by the nervous system allow them to twist and
turn.
*The development of directional movement is correlated
(works in relation) with cephalization.
-some members have light sensitive receptors in head region
called ocelli
-in other members there are chemoreceptors & balance
receptors that sense water movement (not all in head
region)

Review Questions
• 1. What phylum are flatworms part of?
• 2. What are the three classes of
flatworms?
• 3. What type of coelomate are flatworms?
Name and describe.
• 4. How do they breathe?
• 5. What type of cells remove waste?
Class Turbellaria
• FreeLiving
flatworms
– Examples
are
planarians
• Eat
protozoans

Planarians – Nervous System
• Spade-shaped at the anterior end
• Have two, light-sensitive eyespots
– Can sense light, touch, taste, & smell
Planarians – Nervous System
• Have 2 clusters of
nerve cells or
ganglia to form a
simple brain
• Nervous system
composed of a
nerve net
Reproduction
• Sexual Reproduction

Class Trematoda
• Are parasitic
flukes
• Have suckers on
both ends
– to cling to host &
suck blood, cells,
& body fluids
• Can live inside or
outside of host
Liver Fluke
Class Trematoda
• Nervous and
excretory systems
like turbellarians
• Hermaphrodites
• Have complex life
cycles
– Require 2 hosts
Schistosome

Japanese Lung Fluke
• Burrows into lung tissue and begins laying eggs
• Causes response of severe coughing up of blood and
release of body fluids
• Can be transmitted through raw crabs
• 80% of freshwater crabs in Asia are infected
• Causes inflammation in the lungs
• Blood that is coughed up is filled with eggs
• It is then reswallowed and excreted in feces
• Has many intermediate hosts
• Coughing up blood is a major sign of infestation
Example Schistosomiasis
• Disease caused by a parasitic blood
fluke called a Schistosome.
• Infects people in Asia, Africa, &
South America causing intestinal
bleeding & tissue decay that can
result in death.

Schistosomiasis
Schistosomiasis (video notes)
• Caused by blood fluke – Schistosome
• Infects blood vessels around the host’s bladder and reproduces
rapidly
• Excreted in the urine & can come in contact with skin
• Starts as eggs in freshwatergrows in snailwaterhuman
• Creates a red rash if eggs are lodged in the skin
• Massive buildup in tissue can cause cancer
• 200,000,000 world wide..many in Africa
• Snail-intermediate host
• Human-primary host
• If infected, you are susceptible to get worm again even after
treatment
• Unsanitary water – Global disease #4
• The flukes are attracted to the fatty acid in the skin
• Can go undetected for 20 years

Review Questions

•
1. Which class is made up of flukes?
2. Where can flukes live?
3. Why do they have suckers?
4. What does hermaphrodite mean?
Class Cestoda
• About 2,000
species
• Parasitic Tapeworms
• Long, ribbon-like bodies
• No digestive system
• Absorbs nutrients from host
• Hermaphrodites
• Can live in intestines of almost
almost all vertebrates
• Humans can harbor any of SEVEN
different species
• Tapeworm may cause: digestive
problems, weight loss, lack of energy,
and anemia (decrease in # of RBCs)
Different from other
flatworms because they…
• Lack eyespots and other light sensitive
structures
• Have no mouth/pharynx
– Instead they have hooks & suckers
• No Gastrovascular cavity
• No other digestive organs
SCOLEX of the tapeworm
Reproduction
•Proglottids are the segments that make
up most of the worm's body.
•Mature proglottids contain both male and
female reproductive organs.

Reproduction cont
• Mature proglottids are released in
excrement (feces).
• Eggs are ingested by grazing animals
• Eggs hatch into larva
• Larva infect muscle tissue of animal
and form cysts
• Humans can become infected by
eating undercooked meat.
