Elegans Worm
The Elegans worm is different then the other 2 Nematoda that I showed you. The difference was that unlike the other 2 this one is not a parasite and it does not rely on the life of other living things. It is a transparent worm which means its see through. It is about 1 mm in length and about 0.2 mm in diameters , which is why it is one of the smallest Roundworms in the Nematoda Phylum. For the anatomy of the Elegan worm it is symmetrical. The body is cylindrical and is surrounded by a layer of epithelial cells. The outer body is made out of muscle and different proteins as well.
