platyhelminthes
The scientific name for flatworms is Platyhelminthes.
- a domain is the highest level of organization - within a domain, there are kingdoms - withing kingdoms, there are phyla (singular phylum) - within phyla are classes - within classes are orders - within orders are families - each family contains one or more genera - each genus contains one or more species
In taxonomy, classes with similar characteristics are under the classification level of "phylum." The classification levels (from broad to specific) are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Ergo, a phylum contains classes with similar characteristics.
Animals that are least alike are likely found in different classes or phyla. For example, a bird (class Aves) and a jellyfish (phylum Cnidaria) are very different from each other both in terms of their physical characteristics and evolutionary history.
A genus is a taxonomic rank that includes one or more species that are closely related. It represents a group of species that share common characteristics and ancestry. Genera are further organized into families, then orders, classes, phyla, and ultimately kingdoms in the classification system.
Turbellaria , Trematoda and cestoda
Flatworms are of the phylum Platyhelminthes. This phylum has three classes: Turbellaria -- predacious worms Trematoda -- known commonly as flukes Cestoda -- tapeworms
The scientific name for flatworms is Platyhelminthes.
There are three classes in the platyhelminthes phylum. These classes include Turbellaria, Monogenea, and Trematoda. These classes still break down into orders, families, genus, and species. I'm still looking for the rest.
Platyhelminthes as a phylum is divided into 4 classes. The tapeworm class (Cestoda) is endoparasitic. This means they live parasitically inside a host. There is also the ectoparasitic class Monogenea which lives parasitically on the outside of a host. There are marine specimens and those that live in other moist environments. This is the class Turbellaria.
Flatworms are divided into two groups, parasitic and nonparasitic. The parasitic types, which live off of other organisms, consist of Cestoda, Trematoda, and Monogenea flatworms.
The simplest bilateral animal is considered to be a flatworm, such as a planarian. These animals have a simple body structure with bilateral symmetry, a central nervous system, and a digestive system. They are an example of simple, yet successful, bilateral organisms.
Planaria, tapeworms and flukes are all classic examples of flatworms. Planaria live in the creeks, flukes live in the livers of sheep, and tapeworms live in the intestines of cows, dogs and even humans.
•Bilateral symmetry.•Protosomes.•Do not have an anus, but possess a mouth.•Contain a hydrostatic skeleton.•Mostly sexual reproduction.•4 Classes - Monogenea, Trematoda, Turbellaria & Cestodes.•Examples - tapeworms, flatworms, roundworms. •Sac Body Plan - one opening that functions as the mouth and anus.•3 germ layers.•Live in fresh water, ocean biome, or a moist environment.•
