Movement

Movement:

Enopolea make up the phylum Nematoda, these are more ancestrally diverged nematodes. They are characterized by oval/pouch like aphids, cylinder esophagus, and their smooth body. The complexity of locomotion for Enopolea or any nematodes involves somatic muscles. These muscles are attached to the hypodermis and are separated in 4 different sections. And during movement the muscles are used to apply pressure laterally to the cuticle, and extremely flexible exoskeleton, this pressure is opposed by high hydrostatic pressure by the coelom a fluid filled body cavity that is lined by tissue, and causes dorso-ventral bending, causing the muscular contraction to cause the nematode move in a sinusoidal way better know as a wavy. An interesting way that they move is that they display a bilateral symmetry, meaning a person can draw a straight line from the head of the nematode,between the eyes, going straight down to the tail. The structure of one side is a mirror image to the structure of the opposite side of the line.
