. Flashcards
General morphology: Unsegmented, elongated and cylindrical in shape. The body is covered by a non-nucleated cuticle which may be smooth striated, bossed or ornamented with spines
PHYLUM NEMATODA
Body cavity of phylum nematoda is called?
Pseudocole
Contains the viscera (digestive, reproductive and parts of the nervous and excretory systems)
Pseudocole
mouth/buccal cavity which may be provided with spines, hooks, cutting plates, stylets, or other structures
Anyterior end
Malw: accessory copulatory apparatus
gubernaculum (wing- like appendage)
telamon
copulatory spicule
copulatory bursa (umbrella like ex:

System with chemoreceptors?
Nervous system
excitatory neurotransmitter

inhibitory
neurotransmitter
Gamma-amino butyric acid
Most nematocidal drugs interfere with
Neurotransmission
pair of laterally placed minute receptor organs in the cephalic or cervical region of all nematodes.
Amphids
pair of minute lateral post-anal organs in species w/o caudal glands
