Question

What is the cellular organization of platyhelmenthies?

Answer 1

Platyhelminthes:

1. They have cells organized in specific tissues, which combine to form organs and organ systems performing specific functions.
2. Thus Platyhelminthes have an organ-system level of cell organization.
3. This phylum includes flatworms that have bilateral symmetry and are triploblastic i.e they have endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm embryonic layers.
4. The triploblastic organization confirms the organ system level of cell organization in flatworms.
5. An example of Platyhelminthes includes Liver fluke or Fasciola hepatica.
