==Structure== They are usually bell or disc shaped, with a prominent [[paroral membrane]] arising from the oral cavity and circling counter-clockwise around the anterior of the cell, accompanied by a smaller series of [[biological membrane|membranelles]]. The oral cavity is apical and funnel shaped, with a [[vacuole|contractile vacuole]] discharging directly into it. When disturbed, the anterior of the cell can contract. The rest of the body is unciliated, except for a ''telotroch band'' circling the posterior in mobile species and stages.
