Tapeworms

dogs and cats gett tapeworms from the infected flea they have consumed or have been bitten from

All cestodes lack digestive and excretory systems, therefore, the tegument with its microtriches constitute the principal site of absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste materials. Moreover the microtriches are the primary structures for host-parasite interface, and are metabolically active performing all the vital activities such as sensory, absorptive and secretory functions. Thus their structural significance is clearly to amplify the total surface area of the tegument.

It takes approximately 6-8 months to kill Tapeworms in the human body. Eating bananas and chewing tobacco sends transmitters off to kill the worm. A well rounded diet helps the body achieve flourshment.

Depending on how long a tape worm parasite goes untreated for, tape worms can easily survive in the human gut for years and years and reach incredibly long lengths coiled up. Some have been found to be meter's and metres in length! For more info on tapeworms it is advisable to visit Wikipedia.

Tapeworms are parasites. They live inside your intestines and take nutrition away from you.

Taenia saginata

endoparasites cause they live inside of you

The tapeworm is an intestinal parasite that does not contain a digestive system since its body is designed to absorb digested food from its host.

1. they absorb it threw there skin when there hostest nutrients pass by thus taking it from the host and growing bigger.
2. they can get up to 50 feet long.
3. three types of species of worms can inffect a human

I have had tapeworms before.

You get cramps all around your stomach, it can give you putred wind, diorreah and/or constipation. you usally cant fill your self up with food because the worms eat it all.

If you DO NOT treat yourself for ANY TYPE of worm you can spread it to other people.

An adult tapeworm uses its scolex to chew through the tissue of the organism its living in.

a tapeworm is neither, it is a living organism which lives in the intestine. but if any, it COULD be classed as a virus.

Cow: Intermediate host to the larval stages of beef tapeworm (Taenia saginata)

All animals contain worms. Cows and other animals and fowls consume dirt and grass; grass and dirt contains the eggs of worms. When the animals eat the eggs, the eggs go to the intestinal tract and mature into worms. They attach to the intestinal wall, and then can access the nutrients the animals eat. Just like cats and dogs with worms, other animals excrete worms and worm eggs in their feces. (Again, adding to the worms and eggs found in dirt and grass.)

Humans slaughter cows, fowl, and other animals for meat. Raw meat often contains worms and eggs. Cooking meat at high temperatures kills most worms and eggs. But if a person eats raw meats, or under-cooked meats, humans ingest worms and eggs. In the body, they go to the intestines, mature, and start feeding and laying more eggs.

Also, a person who has worms and does not wash their hands after having a bowel movement can contaminate fresh raw meat during slaughter or in processing plants. The worm (or eggs) doesn't care who its host is--- they just need a host.

Hello.

Human worms are usually found in your feces (poo). You can see seed like white/beige bits/things or you may actually see small worms. Most people who are infected with worms usually have a itchy anus, anal discharge or lose weight or have abdominal cramping. You can only tell if you have worms by seeing your doctor and take a feces sample with you. Your feces will be tested for worms and parasites and you will know without a doubt then if you have worms. Hope this has helped you some and if I have, then please recommend me.

OK once u c a person nanny a worm that person is sick very bad OK nah all of u people i want to c all of u eating vegetables and fruits OK people that goes for me to.

I'm doing this in my bio. lessons, and on our work sheet it says that. The larvae of the worm live in the muscle tissue of pigs, if the larvae are then eaten they get into the human intestines and become adults.

Hope that this helps.

Tapeworms can live in a host for 5-10 years.

They are adapted with a resistant outer covering so that they aren't damaged by the stomach acid, and have no digestive tract because they absorb food directly from the stomach where is is all broken down anyway.

And just for the person who edited this before me everything is adapted in some way, if they weren't they'd either be extinct or the same as the first microbes

tape worms don't have a gut because they absorb already digested food and have no need to break it down further

The tapeworm has a head called the scolex. On this head there are teeth that hook the the intestines wall. Should this fail, there are also a set of suckers. The teeth and suckers keep the worm from being digested. The body is made up of segments called proglottids, generated by the neck. With these segments the worm can grow up to 30ft long! The segments eventually break off to either find another place in the body or to come out with the feces. If it comes out with the feces, it was most likely be picked up by other creatures. The segments that remain in the body may travel up the brain, eyes, and other places such as the liver.

They don't form in the animal, they hatch or grow. If an animal eats food with tapeworm eggs on it, the eggs hatch and develop in its intestines.

If a human eats food that is not completely cooked, he or she could get a tapeworm. Most human cases are in kids who have eaten dirt containing the worm eggs.

I'm not sure but i believe they get oxygen from the host body's blood.
