Tapeworms lack traditional sense organs like eyes and ears, but they do possess specialized structures called sensory cells. These cells are sensitive to changes in their environment, allowing tapeworms to detect chemical signals and possibly changes in light or temperature. Additionally, they have receptors that can sense the presence of host tissues and nutrients, aiding in their ability to attach to the host and feed. Overall, their sensory capabilities are quite rudimentary compared to those of more complex organisms.
