Parasitology part 2 Flashcards
Hermaphroditic, or monoecious (no separate sexes). they obtain nutrition through integument, with microtriches
Cestodes or tapeworms
anterior end of the body; muscular organ for attachment
“hold fast”
scolex
projection at the apex of the scolex armed with hooks or spines
Rostellum
Behind the scolex; unsegmented; region of growth where strobilation begins
Neck
chain of segments (proglottids)
Strobila
contains non-fully developed reproductive organs
immature segment
contains at least one set of fully developed reproductive organs
Mature segment
filled with eggs
other reproductive organs have atrophied
uterus remain
Gravid segment
proglottid detaches from the body to release eggs
apolysis
Fish tapeworm or Broad tapeworm
Diphyllobothrium latum
