Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tapeworms are made up of repeating segments called proglottids. Each proglottid contains reproductive structures, allowing tapeworms to produce vast numbers of eggs. The body of the tapeworm is elongated and flattened, but it does not have an obvious division between head and body. The scolex is the specialized attachment organ at the front end of the tapeworm, which allows it to attach to the intestine of its host. Antheridia are structures found in some male reproductive systems, while gut blocks are structures found in the digestive system of some animals. Miracidia are free-swimming larvae of some parasitic flatworms.
