flat and segmented
Phylum cestoda (tapeworms)
Flat and unsegmented
Phylum trematoda (flukes)
free living or obligate parasites
Nematodes
Most organs of parasitic worms are greatly reduced but reproductive system is well developed
Nematodes
- Nematodes have complete digestive tract and have separate sexes (male and female) and
dioecious
- Trematodes and Cestodes are ____________
hermaphrodites or monoecious
Elongated, unsegmented and cylindrical bodies
* Bilaterally symmetrical
* Tapered posterior end and rounded anterior end
ORE Pugh
Nematodes
in nematodes _____ are generally smaller than female
male
General features
* Both sexes are rounded anterior end and tapering or blunted end
* Males are curved posteriorly while females have flat posteriorly
sperm duct
Nematodes (Roundworms)
Longitudinal muscles: probing and penetrating motion
The nematodes (roundworms)
An arrangement of multiple longitudinal rows of muscle cells in each quadrant is termed __________
Polymyarian
one with no more than2 rows of cells is called _________
Holomyarian
one with 2 to 5 rows is meromyarian
Meromyarian
fluid filled space within the bodies of roundworm (not covered by the membrane)
Pseudocelom
Fluid-filled body cavity lying inside the external body wall of the nematode that bathes the internal organs, including the alimentary system and the reproductive system
Pseudocoelom
helps with waste removal, circulation, better digestion, and shock absorption for the internal organs
pseudocoelom
Pseudocoelom
In pseudocoelom the circulatory and respiratory are ______________
absent

_____________
- 1 Ventral nerve or cord
