What short hairlike structures on cells that help flatworms move?

Answer 1

If I remember correctly, cilia are hairs on the underside of a tapeworm that a tapeworm bends in order to move.

If the hairs on a tapeworm's underside look like this:

________________________

| | | | | | <- a straight hair

and he bends them like this:

_________________________

\ \ \ \ \ \ <- a bent hair

then he is moving to the left.

Answer 2

Cilia are short hairlike structures found on cells of flatworms that help them to move by beating in a coordinated manner. These cilia create fluid flow over the surface of the flatworm, enabling it to glide and swim.
