(F) Cestodes: Differences of Pseudophyllidea from Cyclophyllidea (module-based) Flashcards
- flat and ribbon-like with white or yellowish color when alive
- Taxonomically, this has two orders, namely Pseudophyllidea and Cyclophyllidea
- consists of a chain of egg producing units called segments or proglottids

Segments or Proglottids

important structures (2), since infection persists as long as these parts remain attached to the host’s intestinal wall, even though the greater portion of the strobila may have become free and evacuated

- where segments originate
Neck
Segments may be classified as?
immature, mature and gravid
This are the ones that detach and come with the stool or disintegrate.
anong portion ng gravid proglottids
terminal portions of the gravid proglottids
Match: Classification
- Larger units, each of which contains full set of male and female genital organs Follows the first segment
- Farthest from the scolex whose primary genitals are reduced or atrophied due to the enlarged uterus containing numerous eggs
- Segments develop from the distal end of the neck where units are just differentiating and where the sexual organs are still developing
A. Immature
B. Mature
C. Gravid
D. Intermediate
BCA
Detachment of segments can occur singly or in series. The lost segments will be replenished by the?
what body part
neck
by growing immature segments to replace the lost ones
Match
- Common atrium (genital and uterine pore) at the median of the ventral side, uterus inside is piled, coiled or rosette at the midline.
- Transversely quadrate with 4 cup- like suckers, may or may not have rostellum, which may or may not have spines or hooks and, if with hooks it is referred as armed scolex
- Atrium (genital pore only) at the lateral margins, which may be on the same side or alternate. Uterus is tubular, which may end blindly; has 2 atriums
- Narrow, spindle, or spoon shaped with an elongate groove at mid- ventral side called bothria or suctorial groove or sula
A. Scolex (Pseudophyllidea)
B. Scolex (Cyclophyllidea)
C. Mature Segment (P)
D. Mature Segment (C)
CBDA
- Uterus is engorged with eggs causing segment to be much bigger and tends to be oval- shaped. Other structures atrophy
- Spherical, non-operculate and almost fully matured when released from the segments.
- Oval-shaped, operculate and immature when laid.
- Uterus develops lateral branches, filled-up with eggs causing the segment much bigger and thicker than the mature proglottid.
A. Gravid segment (P)
B. Gravid segment (C)
C. Egg (P)
D. Egg (C)
