Genital pore (atrium into which the vagina and a seminal vesicle open)
midventral, in the center of a slight elevation close to the anterior border of the

Each portion of the body of a Cestode which contains the reproductive organs is
called a proglottis, and is budded off from the anterior portion which is called the
head. The latter is provided with Suckers, and generally, in addition, with a circle
...

The segment so formed is called a proglottis. The proglottis is not truly
comparable with the new individuals produced in Microstomum linear e. Through
each proglottis run the excretory canals and the nervous strands which are
common to all ...

The proglottis after separation may remain for a certain time in the intestine, but
eventually makes its way either passively in the faeces {e.g. T. soHum), or
actively by its own movement (T. saginata) to the exterior per anuni. Here it
retains its ...

Introduction to Animal Parasitology
Proglottides.f The strobila of most adult cestodes is divided into segments or
proglottides (singular proglottis or proglottid) which appear to arise by a series of
external transverse constrictions. It was formerly thought that these external ...
The number of testes was determined in mature proglottides, since these
degenerate as the proglottis becomes gravid. Only cestodes with a complete data
-set were included in the analysis. Measurements of eggs, ovarian isthmus width
and ...
