In flatworms, the head end is typically considered the anterior end, which is often oriented dorsally when the flatworm is in its natural swimming position. However, flatworms have a bilateral symmetry, and their body can be flattened on both sides, making it less straightforward to assign a strict dorsal or ventral designation. Overall, while the head end can be thought to face upward in many species, the orientation can vary based on their environment and behavior.
