One animal organism that I found interesting was the species of
multicellular Nematodes.
Nematodes are the most plentiful multicellular animals on the
planet. They are everywhere; in soil and on decomposing
material, from the cold environments to the tropics, in all plant
life, in almost all animals, including humans, and also insects
(“Information”, 2016).
Nematodes are non- segmented roundworms that possess
complete digestive, excretory, nervous and reproductive systems
(“Information”, 2016). Most are microscopic. The diversity of
nematode forms and territories are incredible: there are more
than 15,000 known species, can you imagine that! They infect
everything from bugs to whales to humans. Nematodes can take
the energy of living organism and cause serious diseases, even
kill humans and animals. There are other nematode parasites in
humans that are transmitted by eating meat that is not cooked
adequately, or through contact with soil or water contaminated
with feces, from humans or animals (Hay, 2016).
The nematode organism known as”
Wuchereria bancrofti
”
can cause damages to the lymphatic system and causes
debilitating inflammations in different parts of the body
referred to as ‘elephantiasis’. Some other species of nematodes
live in the stomach of animals and prevent them from absorbing
enough nutrients to grow in good health (Hay, 2016).
The structural diversity of nonparasitic nematodes reflects the
variety of ecologic places they occupy. Nematodes feed on

4. bacteria,
fungi, protozoans and other nematodes, and they play an
important role in the cycle and release of nutrients for plant
growth. Other nematodes attack insects, and help to control
insect pests (Hay, 2016)
.
A lesson learn this week is while nematodes are common and
might look unimportant, and unnoticeable, they have a huge
influence on our world.
