Summary Introduction
To explain: The interaction between the cuticle, body-wall muscles, and pseudocoelomic fluids in the locomotion of nematodes.
Introduction: Ecdysozoans are a group of protostome animals that include nematodes, arthropods, and numerous smaller phyla. The nematodes are commonly known as roundworms that belong to the phylum Nematoda. The nematodes inhabit different environments ranging from terrestrial to marine environments.
