0 a creature with a flat body that can live inside the bodies of people and animals and often causes disease
If a flatworm be cut in two, the front piece grows out a new tail, the hind piece a new head, and two perfect worms result.
Previous studies have indicated that more than 1 type of muscle fibre is present in flatworms.
The occurrence of co-release mechanisms in vivo in flatworms has yet to be investigated.
Phylogenies inferred from mitochondrial gene orders : a cautionary tale from the parasitic flatworms.

Currently, there are no known flatworm neuropeptide receptors although their presence on flatworm muscle fibres has been established physiologically.
A well-developed muscular system is essential for the survival of both endo- and ecto-parasitic flatworms.
The genetic code is as inferred previously for flatworms.
