| | Members of this phylum are characterized by stinging cells, that eject a barbed thread and possibly a toxin. | | | The Phylum Platyhelminthes contains about 13,000 species of flatworms subdivided into three classes: two parasitic and one free-living. | | | Most are free-living, although some are parasitic (pinworms are thought to infect 30% of all US children). |

| | Animal Phyla |
| | Body flattened, leaf or ribbonlike, bilaterally symmetrical; digestive tract branched and without an anus, or absent in parasitic forms; this phylum is divided into three classes: Class Turbellaria (free-living flatworms); Class Trematoda (flukes); and Class Cestoda (tapeworms). | | | Tentacles extending from the mouth contain "glue cells" or colloblasts containing spiral threads which snare small fish and crustaceans with a gluelike material. | | | These planktonic marine animals are only about 5-10 mm in length, about the size of duckweeds of the genus Wolffiella. |

| | Cnidaria |
| | The mouth is surrounded by tentacles studded with microscopic stinging capsules known as nematocysts that are the agents of offense and defense. | | | The coelenteron (also termed the gastrovascular cavity) serves for gas exchange and digestion. | | | Cnidarians are diploblastic -- that is, the body and tentacles consist of two cell layers, the endoderm (sometimes referred to as the gastrodermis) and the ectoderm (the epidermis). |

| | phylum level evolution |
| | “Some Cambrian arthropods had cuticles which were unique in the history of the phylum: they were composed of calcium phosphate. | | | This may be compared to the emergence of macrophagy in abyssal tunicates, also accompanied by a reduction of the filtering system although in Cladorhizidae the result is more extreme, with a main body plan different from Porifera and resembling no other modern anatomical design.” | | | Occasionally, however, different body plans are not assigned different phyla and this creates an appearance that phyla can't evolve. |
