1
Q

What are acoelomates?

A

Animals that have no body cavity. The infernal organs have direct contact with the epithelium. Semi-solid mesodermal tissues between the gut and body wall hold their body together.

Q

What are pseudocoelomate animals?

A

They have a pseudcoel which means they have a false cavity because It is not made within the mesoderm nor does It end fully enclosed by mesoderm. Also organs in it are not as fully organized as in a real coelomate.

Q

What are eucolomate animals?

A

They are animals with a true coelom (body cavity). True coeloms may be either fluid or gas filled; they provide protection and support for internal organs as well as more space in which organs can develop . Animals with coeloms have a faster locomotion and larger body size.

Q

Characteristics of dipellyium sp.

A

Parasitic tapeworm in dogs
In the development stages their host its an invertebrate
Consists on a head called scolex, a neck and a series of segments called proglottids (new proglottids produced on head region )
Mature proglottids contain male and female reproductive organs.
Sperm from a tapeworm will fertilise the egg of the same or another tapeworm.
The mature proglottids will burst open to release the zygotes which are released in the feaces of the host which then are consumed by a new host and the cycle continues.
