Q

Reverse Platyhelminthes

eggs
miracidia
sporocysts --> rediae
cercaraie
metacercariae cyst

miracicia and cercaraie have more variety in sensory organs because they must find a host

some eggs have operculum

no cyst of operculum on egg in blood flukes

  • 1st intermediate host mollusc, 2nd or 3rd varies
  • economic costs and medically important
  • flattened, powerful oral sucker and sometimes ventral sucker
  • tegument, spiny, muscular, orthogon nervous system

  • opisthaptor
  • tegument
  • monecious
A

Aspidobothria Trematodes

20
Q

Reverse Platyhelminthes

  • no body cavity
  • distinct anterior end, bilaterally symmetrical
  • mostly parasitic, thrive in many different environments
  • unable to make fatty acids (explains why parasitic)
  • most of body it mass of parenchyma (fibers and cells for storing food and secreting waste) and muscle
  • ladder-like nervous system with paired ganglia
  • nutrients and waste taken in and eliminated by mouth (digestive system sac)
  • monecious –> schistosomes = exception
