Blood Flukes
(separate sexes; there would
male and female adult forms, thus copulation
serves as means for reproduction
Dioecious
Segmented body because of separate sexes

adult
___ refers to cercaria that
enters/penetrates the human host.
Schistosomulum
When it undergoes changes inside the body such as
losing its tail, it is now called __
Schistosomule
since they don’t have a mouth for eating anus for excretion
they Have an outer surface called __ for absorption and excretion
