Describe specialized feeding structures of parasitic platyhelminthes

The other name for Platyhelminthes is flatwarms. These soft-bodied, bilaterally symmetrical, invertebrate animals have an incomplete digestive system. T hey have muscular and excretory systems. The muscular system allows them to move from place to place over solid surfaces, while the excretory system lets them maintain a proper balance of water and salts. Flatworms have shuckers for feeding and they ab sorb nutrients directly from the host’s digestive system with their shuckers.
