Q

Male reproductive system consists of the minute spherical testes situated in the dorsolateral fields of the proglottids; from these, the vas deferens converge to form the seminal vesicle before terminating in the muscular organ that opens to the anterior side of the common genital pore

Q

SCOLEX

globular in shape with 4 circular suckers

measures 1 mm in diameter (about the size of a pinhead)

has a rostellum armed with double row of 25-30 alternating large and small hooklets shaped like daggers

neck measures 5-10 mm in length

A

T solium

17
Q

IMMATURE SEGMENT
small, wider than long
genital primordial can already be appreciated

MATURE SEGMENT
longer than broad
measures 12mm by 6 mm
common genital pore is marginal, thick lipped, situated near the middle on
the lateral margin of each segment, alternating irregularly between the right and left margins

A

T solium

18
Q

MATURE SEGMENT
vaginal opening is not guarded by a muscular sphincter, vaginal tube ending internally into the ootype

ovary is situated in the posterior third of the segment and consists of 2 large symmetrical lobes and accessory lobe on the side of the genital pore

has 150-200 testicular follicles which are distributed throughout the dorsal plane

vas deferens proceeds are convoluted tubule to the genital atrium and enlarges to form the pars prostatica and the cirrus organ before reaching the genital atrium

GRAVID SEGMENT
the gravid uterus consists of a median longitudinal tube forming lateral branches when crowded with eggs
there are 7 - 13 (usually 9) lateral branches on each side of the main uterine trunk

A

T solium

19
Q

white and semitransparent

measures 5 – 10 meters in length has 1000 – 2000 segments

A

T saginata

20
Q

SCOLEX
quadrate, has 4 circular suckers (may be pigmented)
measures 1-2 mm in diameter not provided with any rostellum or hooklets neck is fairly long and narrow and is fragile

A

T saginata

21
Q

IMMATURE SEGMENT
wider than long
genital primordial can be appreciated

MATURE SEGMENT
longer than broad, length being 3 - 4 times its breadth consecutive proglottids have irregularly alternate genital pores
excretory canal run though both sides of each segment
male genital system consists of the testes which 200 - 400 follicles, distributed throughout the dorsal plane
minute vas deferens from the testes join to form the convoluted vas deferens which courses laterally to the muscular cirrus organ which in turn opens into the common cup shaped genital atrium which forms a noticeable papillary projection on the lateral margins of the proglottids
dilated lower portion of the vas deferens is the seminal vesicle

A

T saginata

22
Q

MATURE SEGMENT

the female genital system consists of the vagina which is straight tube coming from the common genital atrium often expanding to form the seminal receptacle
the follicular ovary usually bilobed is situated in the posterior part of the segment; from the ovary, the oviduct joins with the vitelline duct and enters the ootype which is surrounded by the Mehli’s gland
the uterus expands as a club shaped organ from the anterior surface of the ootype

A

T saginata

23
Q

GRAVID SEGMENT
longer than broad
measures 1 - 2 cm in length and 0.5 cm in width
uterus when crowded with eggs will form lateral branches or extensions the uterus has no separate opening to the outside lateral branches of the gravid uterus is 12 or above
whole segment is occupied by the uterus and the rest of the genitalia disintegrates

A

T saginata

24
Q

small tapeworm, measuring 3 - 6 mm in length it has 3 segments (occasionally 4)

A

E granulosus

25
Q

SCOLEX
globular, measures 0.6 mm in breadth
has 4 prominent cup-like oval suckers
rostellum is protrusible with 2 circular rows (28 - 40 large and small hooklets)
neck is short and thick

A

E granulosus

26
Q

IMMATURE SEGMENT
longer than broad
contains immature reproductive organs

MATURE SEGMENT
more elongated than the immature segment
has fully developed reproductive organs consisting of 43 - 65 pyrion
testes, mostly located anterior to the cirral sac, paired irregular ovaries in a posterior position and a single spherical vitelline gland

A

E granulosus

27
Q

GRAVID SEGMENT
the biggest segment, measuring 2 -3 mm in length by 0.6 mm in breadth
it consists of a median uterus with 12 - 15 or more lateral pouches filed
with ova
lateral genital pore is equatorial or post-equatorial and is irregularly alternate
it is about half the length of the worm

A

E granulosus
