TYPES OF TREMATODES
schistosomes (blood flukes)
Tissue Flukes
class cestoda appearance
Flat or ribbon like
Microorganism begins life as a male and change
into female
Protandry
how many segments in class cestoda

Having the anterior proglottids
overlapping the next exterior
one

shed in the strobila and the
eggs are release in another
way
Anapolytic

is the integument of an
organism esp. the parasitic flatworms)
