In parasites the digestive tract may be lost. The skin is a one-layered epithelium, sometimes cili- ated, sometimes protected by a thick cuticula. Inside this comes a muscular layer (fig. 212) in which longitudinal muscles are always present, and in addition frequently circular and oblique muscles, as well as those passing from dorsal to.
