Platyhelminthes. Structure. Flatworms are flat, soft bodied, ribbon shaped . unsegmented. , contain no body cavity, but they do have digestive cavity. They are bilateral symmetrical, while having only one opening. Flat worms have layers of tissues that surround their central gut. They are part of the acoelomates, and are considered hermaphroditic. Their type of cell layers are: an ectoderm, which is the outer covering, an endoderm, which is the lining of digestive spaces, and a mesoderm which is in between the other two. 27-1 Flatworms.
