Worms & Mollusks Chapter 27
2
Flatworms Phylum Platyhelminthes Bilateral symmetry All 3 germ layers
Cephalization One digestive opening Acoelomate

3 groups of flatworms 1)turbellarians 2)flukes 3)tapeworms
Class Turbellaria 2)flukes Class Trematoda 3)tapeworms Class Cestoda

turbellarians Free living
5
Flukes Parasitic Live in internal organs
6
tapeworms intestinal parasites of vertebrates, where they absorb predigested nutrients (they have no digestive tract).

Cephalization 2 digestive openings Pseudocoelomate Most are parasitic

Roundworms & Disease Trichinosis (from undercooked pork)
Filarial worms (elephantiasis)
10
Ascarid worms (intestine parasites)
Hookworms (25% of world population)

Groups of Mollusks 1)Gastropods: (class Gastropoda) snails, slugs, limpets, nudibranchs Move using a muscular “foot”
19
