CUTANEOUS SYSTEM. 



§121. 



The whole body of the Turbellaria is covered with ciliated epithelium, 

 under which lies a loose cellular parenchyma. In this parenchyma, and

 lar cell-like bodies, which sometimes remind one of the nettling organs of 

 certain zoophytes, and sometimes exactly resemble the prehensile organs
