of relatively simple, soft-bodied, bilaterially symmetrical, invertebrateanimals. The name of the phylum comes from the Greek platy, meaning "flat," and helminth, meaning "worm," which is indicative of their ribbon-shaped, flattened appearance. They include the flukes and tapeworms, among others.
Flatworms are acoelomates that are characterized by having three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) and lacking respiratory and circulatory systems. Acoelomates are invertebrates that do not have a coelom, or body cavity. With about 25,000 known species, flatworms are the largest phylum of acoelomates. Platyhelminths are thought to be the first invertebrates to have a third germ layer
