Klingon Lt. Korax compared humans to Regulan bloodworms on Deep Space Station K-7 in 2268: they are both "soft and spineless" (TOS "The Trouble with Tribbles") According to Dr Phlox, Regulan bloodworms are excellent for filtering toxins. (ENT "Two Days and Two Nights") Phlox has used these harmless worms for years to clean a patient's lymphatic system, but they are difficult to replace. (ENT "Stratagem"). Phlox held one up with a pair of forceps and the ca. 4-inch long worms were, indeed, quite soft. SEE: tun be soft (v) pIp spine [anatomy] (n) *pIp ghajbe'bogh spineless (?)
