Abstract In this experiment‚ we questioned whether one section of a planarian’s body (anterior‚ middle‚ or posterior) would be more responsive than the others. We hypothesized that there would be a greater response to touch from the anterior section than from the middle or posterior sections. The null hypothesis would be that there is no section of the planarian has a greater response to touch than the others. We tested this hypothesis by gently pressing on each section of two different planarians
