What can we say about the appearance of the various worms?
Notice where they each are.
Are Platyhelminthes the first bilateral animal?
• Two-way gut (no anus)• No circulatory system• No coelom (acoelomate)• Simple excretion with he
help of flame cells.
Platyhelminthes
• There are more than 20,000 species of Platyhelminthes. They range from brilliantly colored creatures that swim in the ocean to parasitic flatworms that live inside the bodies of an estimated 200 million humans around the world.
Lets measure up the phylaFirst up: Platyhelminthes
OVERVIEW• Un-segmented body plan • Flat• Carnivores or Scavengers• CEPHALIZATION• Many are parasites (feed on blood, tissue, cells
in host)• Lack circulatory, respiratory, & excretory system• Why are they so flat?• Triploblastic but no coleom
DIFFUSION MACHINES!
Digestive system•Pharynx (muscular tube to suck food)•Intestine (with enzyme assisted digestion)•Gastrovascular cavities increase absorption of food into blood.•Only MAJOR difference from Cnidarians is?•Muscular Pharynx
Important parts. Notice the mouth will not always be located at the head!

The first head.
• Scientists believe that flatworms were the first creatures to develop heads.
• Two nerve chords run the length of the animal.
• Eye Spots/ Oceli
First Brain
• Ganglia - nerve clusters are found in the head.
Despite having more developed nervous system and a head, Platyhelminthes has strong regenerative powers.
Remember the sponge anyone?
Certain classes of flatworms can be chopped up as shown below and will regrow in the following ways.
Why do we get each of the following outcomes?
Has to do with cell differentiation and chemical messages. Undifferentiated cells will grow into their specific tissue type depending on chemical messages received from neighboring cells. That’s why we see the results we do. Cells near head will have more pressure to develop into brain and head cells, therefore larger head to body ration than situation 2.
Excretion• Specialized FLAME CELLS function like
kidneys.• Capture water and waste, beating of cilia
propels wastes to exterior of the worm.
Reproduction
Asexual• Can reproduce by splitting,
“fission,” and re-growing.• Hermaphroditic and
reproduce with themselves with sperm and egg
Sexual• Often meet to swap sperm
and eggs.
Triploblastic tissue development and Flame cells: close up.
Parasitic flatworm adaptations
• Some have NO digestive tract and rely on hosts to absorb via diffusion. This is why they live in the gut of animals.
• Food is already broken down and easily absorbed via diffusion.
• Some lose Ocelli (eyespots)• Develop complex life cycles relying on various
hosts.
Class Cestoda (The Tapeworm)
Tape worm in the stomach, attached to the stomach wall.
Tapeworm (class Cestoda)
• can be up to 18 m long!• weakens, but doesn’t kill host• live in intestine of vertebrate animals• has a scolex = at the head, suckers and a ring of
hooks to attach to intestinal wall• body sections containing a full set of male and
female sex organs • absence of digestive tract makes room for
hundreds of thousands of eggs
Species Examination: Taenia solium
• T.solium is a parasitic tapeworm of the phylum Platyhelminthes and Class Cestoda.
• Please do the reading and answer the questions for discussion.

Review sheet of Platyhelminthes
• Worksheet review: Platyhelminthes
Phylum Nematoda (roundworms)
How many roundworms (or nematodes) do you think are in a rotten apple?
90,000
Overview: Nematoda • Most of free-living, some are parasitesDIGESTION• First to have a complete, straight digestive track
(mouth to anus) increase efficiency!!• Carnivores- eat small animals, algae, fungi; some
detritus feeders• Some are parasites of plants (crops, fruits) and
animalsRESPIRATORY, CIRCULATORY, EXCRETORY• diffusion through body wall and body• Some with excretory canal
NERVOUS• Cephalization groups of nerve cells at head
forming ganglia• Chemical sensory cells along bodyMUSCULAR• Only longitudinal muscles along length of bodyREPRODUCTION• Sexual through internal fertilization• Most species with separate sex (male, female)• Some hermaphroditic (with both m & f organs)Triplobasts – endoderm, ectoderm and mesoderm.
Why develop a complete digestive system?
• You can ingest new food while you are still digesting old food.
• More efficient capture of energy.
Pseudo-coelemate• What's the word Pseudo mean?• Pseudo Science?• False• Nematodes have a body cavity but it is not created from the
splitting of the mesoderm.
Effects on Humans• River Blindness (Onchoceriasis)- Cause by parasitic roundworms spread by
black flies in water• Elephantiasis-Filarial worms live in blood and lymph vessels (transfer by biting insects like via mosquito)• Trichinella worms -Uncooked pork,Cause Trichinosis
Videos• River Blindness:

Assignment: draw the life cycle of either parasitic worm. Show in the human part of the life cycle which areas of a person are being affected. Gallery walk.
Can you remember the main differences between:
Platyhelminthes
• Hermaphroditic• Only one opening (mouth)
• Flat
Nematodes
• Mostly male or female• Fully developed digestive
tract• Round (due to the
pseudocoelom)
In Groups come up with a one or two sentence description of each.
Create a Chart
• Draw a large chart differences Platyhelminthes and Nematoda.
