para lab nematodes Flashcards
Often called round worms
PHYLUM NEMATODA
This means that the body
can be divided along a line that separates the body into right and left halves. They are almost identical to each other.
Bilaterally symmetrical helminths.
This means that they have complete digestive tract, unlike flatworms in which food and waste enter and exit in the same opening.
Elongated cylindrical bodies
These animals that has complete digestive system; have mouth at one end, along tube with specialized parts in the middle like esophageal bulbs, and the anus on the other end.
Complete digestive tract.
The one characteristic special with your nematode would be some are present with
sensory chemoreceptors
are the major sensory system of the nematodes, these are your special nerve cells that detect changes in the chemical composition of the blood, then, it will send information to your brain to regulate your cardiovascular and respiratory functions.
Chemo receptors
Sexes are typically
separated
The males are ___ than the females with a _____
smaller, curved posterior end.
more than one host (filarial worms like the c. philippinensis in which it has one intermediate and one definitive host.)
heteroxenous
only one host (almost all nematodes)
homoxenous
Ingestion of Fully Embryonated Ova
® Trichuris Trichiura
® Ascaris Lumbricoides
® Enterobius Vermicularis
Ingestion of Fully Embryonated Encysted Larva
® Trichinella Spiralis
® Capillaria Philippinensis
Larval Skin Penetration (thigmotropism)
® Hookworms (Ancylostoma | Necator)
Bites of Arthropod | Skin Inoculation
® Wuchereria Bancrofti
® Brugia Malayi
These are producing eggs that develop and
hatch outside the maternal body.
oviparous
Directly gives birth to larva
® No egg stage; filariform or rhabditiform
® Being born alive
® Trichinella spp. | Dracuncular spp.
viviparous, larviparous
Producing eggs that develop within the maternal body and hatch within.
Can be egg form or larval form
Lay eggs that immediately hatch out Strongyloides spp.
ovoviviparous
all parasites commonly reside on the
gastrointestinal tract
Small intestine
® Capillaria Philippinensis
® Ascaris Lumbricoides
® Strongyloides Stercoralis
Large intestine
Trichuris Trichiura
Enterobius Vermicularis
Phasmids (with chemoreceptor)
® A. Lumbricoides
® S. Stercoralis

Aphasmids (without caudal receptor)
® T. Trichiura
® E. Vermicularis
® C. Philippinensis
® T. Spiralis
