    The document summarizes key characteristics of four phyla of invertebrates: Turbellaria, Trematoda, Monogenea, and Cestoda. Turbellaria are free-living flatworms found in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Trematoda are parasitic flukes with a complex life cycle involving intermediate hosts. Monogenea are host-specific ecto- or endoparasites of fish and aquatic animals. Cestoda are parasitic tapeworms with a long, segmented body and no digestive system, absorbing nutrients via diffusion.
