Planaria
Anyone ever done anything with these? Our teacher said we will later this year. They are little worms. fun to cut open. lol.
|
O_o Never heard of them. Do explain?
|
They are little, short worms. this big: ee. if that. if you cut them in half, they live on as 2 planaria. cut the head open, they still live on.
|
Take that little flatworms
They can't survive a hearty mincing however...
|
Yeah, a quarter of the head or something is required for it to live...
|
Not exactly
One can cut them into thirds and the three pieces will turn into new planaria--so two of the pieces have no head parts. I believe it is more that they need a large enough segment of every system, but it has been awhile since I have dealt with them.

Ohh~! I've never touched a Planaria! But it almost seems that each time you cut it, and wait awhile, the body will regenerate totally on both of the cut of parts of the body o-0! HOW AWESOME! O:
|

We dissected frogs and pigs!

I saw Daphnia, Red-Blood Cells, and Amoeba, a Hydra (COOLEST MICROBE EVER!!!), a Planaria, some Vinegar Eels, and some other cool creatures under the microscope last year.
