Flatworms do not have blood in the traditional sense like vertebrates do. Instead, they possess a simple body fluid that circulates nutrients and waste, as they lack a circulatory system. Their flat bodies allow for diffusion of gases and nutrients directly through their skin, making a complex blood system unnecessary.
Planarians are free-living flatworms, flukes are parasitic flatworms that infect various host animals, and leeches are blood-feeding segmented worms.
