How Do Flatworms Move? | Biology of Motion
Flatworms primarily move through a combination of ciliary gliding, muscular contractions, and the strategic use of mucus. Flatworms, members of the phylum Platyhelminthes, exhibit diverse and fascinating methods of locomotion, adapting their movement to various aquatic and moist terrestrial habitats. Understanding their movement reveals fundamental principles of invertebrate biology and biomechanics. The Primary Mechanism: Ciliary […]
