    Question: The nematodes lack organs for

    Options:

    Circulation
    Respiration
    Both (a) & (b)
    Excretory

    ✅ Explanation: Nematodes lack specialized organs for both circulation and respiration.
    -Circulation: They rely on the movement of fluids within their pseudocoelom (body cavity) and the diffusion of nutrients for transport.
    -Respiration: They exchange gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) directly through their body surface (cuticle).

    🔑Key Points:
    -Nematodes possess digestive, nervous, excretory, and reproductive systems, but lack a discrete circulatory or respiratory system.
    -Nematodes (roundworms) are cylindrical nonsegmented organisms that are found throughout the world both as free-living species and as human and animal pathogens.
    -Adult nematodes are comprised of approximately 1,000 somatic cells, and potentially hundreds of cells associated with the reproductive system.
    -Nematodes have been characterized as a tube within a tube, referring to the alimentary canal which extends from the mouth on the anterior end, to the anus located near the tail.
    -In size, they range from 0.3 mm to over 8 meters. 
    -Some examples of Nematodes that commonly spread disease in humans include ascarids (Ascaris), filariasis, hookworms, pinworms (Enterobius), and whipworms (Trichuris trichiura).
