explain the characteristic features of trematodes |
|
Answer» Their body is covered with a tegument, a peculiar kind of epidermal arrangement in which the main cell bodies are deep, separated from the cytoplasm that lies next to the exterior by a layer of muscle, but connected to the exterior layer by cellular processes. The exterior layer is syncytial, which means that it is continuous, not broken by cell membranes. The tegument lacks cilia in adults. They are characterised by one or two suckers. Their muscular, excretory, and reproductive systems are nearly complete. |
