Best Answer

"They (roundworms) lack circular muscles but have lengthwise muscles. As one muscle contracts, another muscle relaxes. This alternating contraction and relaxation of muscles causes roundworms to move in a thrashing fashion." Found in the Glencoe McGraw Hill "Biology: Dinamics of Life" textbook, pg. 711
