Q

the Strobila of tapeworms is made up of

A

proglottids

20
Q

The strobila of tapeworms can be

A

immature, mature or gravid

21
Q

The two types of hosts for tapeworms are

A

definative (human)

intermediate (pig or dog)

22
Q

In the definitive host,

A

sexual reproduction occurs

23
Q

In the intermediate host,

A

asexual reproduction occurs through various larval stages

24
Q

The flukes definitive host is

A

in the liver of a sheep

25
Q

The intermediate host for a fluke is

A

a snail

26
Q

Dioecious means

A

each individual has male or female reproductive organs but not both

27
Q

monoecious means

A

each individual has male and female reproductive organs

28
Q

How can you tell if you’re looking at a midsection cross section of a Planaria?

A

it shows the pharynx

29
Q

How do Taenia pisiformis gravid proglottids differ from mature ones?

A

gravid proglottids have eggs

30
Q

Why does the meracercarial cyst stage of the fasciola hepatica occur on vegetation?

A

Because the vegetation is consumed by sheep which become the definitive hosts of the flukes.

31
Q

Which stage of the Fasciola hepatica is shown?

What happens to this after it leaves the intestines of a sheep?

A

the egg

it enters water where it undergoes embryological development before the next stage hatches out

32
Q
A
33
Q

Which stage of the Fasciola hepatica life cycle is pictured here?

What occurs during this stage?

A

Miracidium, also known as the free-swimming stage

In this stage, the miracidium seeks a fresh-water snail, burrows into it’s tissue and loses its cilia before moving on to the next stage.

34
Q

Where does the sporocyst stage of the Fasciola hepatica’s life cycle occur?

What occurs during this stage?

A

This occurs within the snail or intermediate host.

As the sporocyst grows, it asexually reproduces the next stage within itself.

35
Q

Which stage if the Fasciola hepatica life cycle is shown here?

What occurs during this stage?

A

Redia

The Redia leaves the sporocyst and lives within the liver of the snail. As it grows it asexually reproduces the next stage in itself.

36
Q

Pictured is which stage of the Fasciola hepatica life cycle?

What occurs during this stage?

A

Cercaria, which is another free-swimming stage

During this stage, the Cercaria leaves the snail and seeks out to find a particular plant. Once found, it settles on the plant’s surface and looses it’s tail, becoming the next stage of the life cycle.

37
Q

Pictured is which stage of the Fasciola hepatica life cycle?

What occurs during this stage?

A

Metacercaria

This stage remains on the plant until it is consumed by humans

38
Q

Pictured is which stage of the Fasciola hepatica life cycle?

Where does this take place?

A

Pictured is an adult sheep liver fluke.

This stage lives in the bile ducts of a sheep liver where it sexually produces eggs that pass into the intestine.
