What are tapeworms two major body parts?
Scolex and the Proglottids.
In tapeworms what reproductive organs do both male and female have?
proglottids
Explain the relationship between the tremendous number of eggs produced by flukes and tapeworms and the complexity of their life cycles?
For one thing flukes and tapeworms organ system is mostly reproductive organs and they are monoecious (both male and female organs). Tapeworms produce eggs by setting off a posterior part of themselves called proglottids. each proglottids have an abundant amount of eggs that when they become independent from the tapeworm they have already become zygotes. Flukes don't have proglottids, but reproduce very frequently within themselves.
What are the morphological differences of adult taenia solium and taenia saginata?
Taenia solium* has up to 1,000 proglottids * has scolex armed with hooks* has gravid proglottids containing 50,000 eggs (each proglottid)Taenia saginata* has from 1,000 to 2,000 proglottids * hasn't a scolex armature* has gravid proglottids containing 100,000 eggs (each proglottid)
How does the scolex of the tapeworms compare in size to a proglottid near the scolex and near the posterior end?
The Scolex if very small in comparing the proglottid. The scolex is the frontal end that has the suckers (hooks) on it then is connected to the neck then the proglottid. The proglottids are a series of segments and can be up to 10-15 m long.
What worm reproduces by releasing proglottids with eggs?
tapeworm
Where does a tapeworm have its reproductive organs in segments called what?
proglottids
The rectangular body sections of the tapeworm?
The rectangular body sections of a tapeworm are known as proglottids. Each proglottid contains both male and female reproductive structures.
How do Tapeworms reproduce?
Tapeworms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Mature proglottids (segments that make up the body of a tapeworm) contain both male and female reproductive organs. Sperm from a tapeworm will fertilize the egg--either from the same tapeworm or a different one. The proglottid containing the fertilized egg will break off from the body and burst to release the zygote. The zygote is then released through the feces of the host. Zygotes are then consumed by a new host--their primary host--, grow, burrow, form a cyst, and begin the process again.
Where do you find tapeworms?
Tapeworms are found in the intestines of mammals. inside a human
What worm reproduces by releasing proglottids filled with eggs?
tapeworm
Roundworm associated with undercooked pork?
Taenia solium is an intestinal infection with adult tapeworms that follows ingestion of contaminated pork.And cysticercosis is infection with larvae of T. solium, which develops after ingestion of ova excreted in human feces. Wash your hands when working with food and after you have a BM!Adult tapeworms may reside in the small bowel for years. They reach 2 to 7 m in length and produce up to 1000 proglottids; each contains about 50,000 eggs.
