Q

Based on reproduction processes, what are the two types of trematodes?

reproduction process = self-fertilizing or nah

xori, can’t term it ryt ehehehe

A
  • Monoecious (or hermaphroditic)
  • Dioecious

Q

Trematodes do not have a special respiratory system but if they need oxygen, it must be taken up through the what?

Tegument

tegument = outer surface ng body

Q

The nervous system of trematodes is basic/rudimentary. Its system is composed of ____ cells that is found anteriorly.

A

Ganglion cells

28
Q

Trematodes have a bilaterally symmetrical excretory system with collecting tubules and capillaries that terminate in flame cells which is otherwise known as?

complete or incomplete

A

incomplete

30

PEFF (steak)

32
Q

Trematode eggs are generally colored what?

A

yellow-brown or brown

33
Q

Trematodes have a lid at one end and this is where the miracidium emerges. What do you call this lid?

34
Q

All eggs have an operculum except for what trematode species?

A

Schistosoma spp.

35
Q

The miracidium is covered with hairy structures called ____ and this paves the way for its motility in water.

36
Q

The shell may be smoothly continous in outline, or there may be a slight flare, marking the line of cleavage between shell and operculum, known as the _____.

A

opercular shoulders

or shoulders lng just d same honestly

37
Q

Which of the eggs of trematodes have spines present in them?

spinated egg haha!

A
  • Clonorchis
  • Opisthorchis
  • Schistosoma

vv small spines kay clono & opis and large spines schisto

38
Q

Trematode eggs cannot be successfully concentrated by what technique?

this is because the operculated and nonoperculate forms rupture and fail to float

A

ZnSO4 flotation

zinc-sulfate technique

pero the sediments which contain the eggs are still recognizable even when ruptured

39
Q

What concentration technique produces a quite satisfactory result on finding trematode eggs?

A

Formalin-ether

FECT/FEACT

40
Q

What do you call the larva that comes out of the egg once in water or intermediate host?

A

miracidium

41
Q

Across all trematodes, what is their first intermediate host?

A

snails

or mollusks

42
Q

All trematodes have two intermediate hosts except for what spp?

A

Schistosoma spp.

43
Q

After the miracidium/egg ingestion of the first intermediate host, this becomes a saclike structure structure called what?

A

sporocyst

(Zeibig & Diagnostic Medical Parasitology)

44
Q

What do you call the first larva that will be produced inside the saclike structure in the first intermediate host?

A

redia

  • “The sporocyst is an elongated sac, without distinct internal structures, in which germ balls proliferate. These germ balls develop into rediae…”
  • “Within the rediae, the germ balls again proliferate, developing into cercariae.”
45
Q

The larva that was formed inside the saclike structure will now reach its final stage called a what?

this is the stage that encysts on the 2ndary intermediate host

A

metacercariae

A

Echinostomes

  • Echinostoma ilocanum
  • Artyfechinostomum malayanum
59
