Physiology


- They have no circulatory or respiratory system.

- coelomic fluids transport nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body

- A kidney like organ, the nephridium, filters the waste of the coelomic fluid.

- Gas exchange takes place across the body wall.

- They have a complete, U-shaped digestive system with a mouth, twisted intestines, and anus.

- Their nervous system is composed of a bundle of nerves inside the tip of the introvert, and a nerve chord running ventrally down the body.
