FINALS - CESTODES Flashcards
adult form description of cestodes
Flat, ribbon-like, segmented
cestodes are also known as
tape worm
self fertilizing means
Hermaphrodite
do Hermaphrodite has separate female and male reproductive organs
yes
can we differentiate and identify a male form of cestode and female cestode?
nope, both reproductive organs are in the single body
for tape worms, they lack sophisticated body structures such as circulatory system, digestive tract, no mouth, and no organ participation
true or false
true
in order to nourish and absorb nutrients, as well as to facilitate excretion, it is facilitated by the ___ - outer surface
tegument
the most anterior part of the tape worm
scolex
it represents the head
scolex
the connector or the one that will connect the scolex and the proglottids
neck
3 types of proglottid
immature - mature - gravid
where can we identify the male and female reproductive organs
in mature proglottid
the male and female reproductive organs of a mature form of proglottids is called as
stobila
after self fertilization, the proglottids will mature further to
gravid proglottid
the pregnant form of proglottid
gravid proglottid
what can we identify in a gravid form of proglottid?
eggs or ova
once the proglottid ruptured and the eggs will be released in what part of the body?
intestine/digestive tract
serves as a diagnostic form of the tapeworm
eggs/ova
typically, cestodes has ____ in their scolex which they use for attachment to the host
4 ventral suckers
rostellum and hooks
part of the adult form of tapeworm that is used for the attachment to the intestinal mucosa of the host
scolex
advantage of rostellum
increase virulence
known as a fake tapeworm
pseudophyllidian
among the 2 classification of cestode that has only few members
fake tapeworm - pseudophyllidian
the scolex of has pseudophyllidian has no ventral suckers but instead of __
sucking grooves
PROGLOTTIDS of pseudophyllidean is
_-
anapolytic which means it has uterine pores
the GRAVID PROGLOTTID of pseudophyllidean is ___
all reproductive organs are intact
EGG/ OVA of the pseudophyllidean is
ovoidal and OPERCULATED
the reproductive organ of pseudophillidean is intact in which on the cyclophyllidean that only organ we can observe is the ___
uterus
intermediate host needed for pseudophyllidean
only 2
Also known as true tapeworm

Spherical in shape; NON OPERCULATED
NTERMEDIATE HOST of cyclophyllidean
only 1
