	Introduction to the Nematoda
		Some scientists have estimated that there may be as many as half a million more unkown species of roundworm yet to be discovered, an estimate based on the fact that many new species are still being discovered, that relatively few people are looking for more species, and that most roundworms look pretty much alike.
		Nematodes were once classified with a very large and heterogeneous cluster of animals grouped together on the basis of their overall worm-like appearance, simple structure of an internal body cavity called a pseudocoelom, and the lack of features such as cilia and a well-defined head that are found in most animals.
		The cuticle is the closest thing a roundworm has to a skeleton, and in fact the worm uses its cuticle as a support and leverage point for movement.
