Describe the body plan for acoelomates?
Lack a body cavity between the digestive
tract and outer body wall
* Tripoblastic (body tissue developed from
three embryonic germ layers)
* Bilateral symmetry

transporting nutrients and oxygen to
internal organs

Dorsoventrally flattened body
(flatworms)
* Bilateral symmetry with dorsal and
ventral surfaces
* Distinct anterior and posterior
ends

excretory, muscular, digestive, and
reproductive systems
What are the three classes in the phylum plathelminthes?
- Three classes: Turbellaria,
Trematoda, and Cestoda
