Stats on Platyhelminthes
Bilateral symmetry
3 layers of cells in embryos
Endoderm (inner) leads to digestive tract
Mesoderm (middle) leads to muscles
Ectoderm (outer) leads to skin and nerves
Hermaphrodite sex
Can reproduce asexually if cut in half
Nervous system (brain-precursor)
Body cavities
Acoelomate = Flatworms
Pseudocoelomate =Roundworms
Coelomate = Mollusks and onward
No body cavity
Acoelomate
Body cavity between mesoderm and endoderm
pseudocoelomate
Body cavity with-in mesoderm
Coelomate
Gastropods/Bivalves/Cephalopods phylum
Mollusca
