Chapter 26.3, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Ctenophores are characterized by eight rows of fused cilia arranged along the sides of the body. These cilia beat synchronously and help in the movement of ctenophores through the water. Some species move with a flapping motion of their lobes or undulations of the body. Many ctenophores possess tentacles but some lack tentacles completely.

Placozoans are structurally simple. They have no mouth, gut, or nervous system and only a few distinct cell types. This
simplicity is thought to be secondarily derived, because they
have an asymmetrical adult stage.
are composed of an upper and lower body surface that sandwiches a layer of contractile fibers.
