WHAT DOES PLANARIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

planarian

Planarian

A planarian is one of many non-parasitic flatworms of the Turbellaria class. It is also the common name for a member of the genus Planaria within the family Planariidae. Sometimes it also refers to the genus Dugesia. Planaria are common to many parts of the world, living in both saltwater and freshwater ponds and rivers. Some species are terrestrial and are found under logs, in or on the soil, and on plants in humid areas. Some planarians exhibit an extraordinary ability to regenerate lost body parts. For example, a planarian split lengthwise or crosswise will regenerate into two separate individuals. Some planarian species have two eye-spots that can detect the intensity of light, while others have several eye-spots. The eye-spots act as photoreceptors and are used to move away from light sources. Planaria have three germ layers, and are acoelomate. They have a single-opening digestive tract; in Tricladida planarians this consists of one anterior branch and two posterior branches. Planarians move by beating cilia on the ventral dermis, allowing them to glide along on a film of mucus.

Definition of planarian in the English dictionary

The definition of planarian in the dictionary is any free-living turbellarian flatworm of the mostly aquatic suborder Tricladida, having a three-branched intestine.
