Q

Trematoda- fasicola (flukes)

Characteristics:

A

Life cycle needs intermediate host (snail in larval stages, asexual) and definitive host (sheep liver in adult, sexual). Can be mono or dioecious

Q

Cestoda- taenia (tapeworm) life cycle

A

definitive host Ingestion of worm> attaches to intestines and matures > detach proglottids into feces >pig eats the larva> (intermediate host) larva encysts in pig muscle> definitive host eats pig meat

Q

Turbellaria -dugesia (planarians) cilia and Rhabdite cells

A

cillia work with Rhabdite cells to produce mucus so they have a “slime” trail

16
Q

Turbellaria -dugesia (planarians) organ system

A

osmoregulatory - regualte body fluids like a network of tubes in parenchyma. the tubes end at the flame cell.

17
Q

protoniphridia= flame cell

A

tuft of cilia/flagella surrounded by a sieve-like structure made of microfibrils selective of certain ions.

tuft inside the cell “beats” to excrete waste

18
Q

tapeworm larva

A

oncosphere

19
Q

Intermediate host: final host

A

Sexual reproduction of endoparasites occurs in only one animal host, the final or definitive host, while asexual reproduction of the parasite can occur in the intermediate host(s) and sometimes also in the final host.
