Feeding: Like all members of the tape worms, T.solium lacks a digestive system, and feeds by absorbing nutrients (in the form of carbohydrates) from the digestive system of its host across its membrane. This requires T.solium to maximize its surface area: volume ratio.
|
Respiration:The Tenia solium is no acceptation to the respiratory systems of all turbelleria. They also do not have any respiratory organs
|
Internal Transport:Taenia Sollium has no digestive tract at all instead they live inside the intestines of their hosts and feed by latching onto the intestinal wall with hooks and/or suckers and absorbing the food that passes by- food that has already been broken down by the host's digestive enzymes.
|
Excretion: Adult tapeworms "feed" by absorbing their nutrients through the cuticle from their immediate environment and excrete waste products by the same route
|
Response: In human Taenia solium , highlights the conditions that appear to be favourable for the survival or destruction of the parasite and for the benefit or injury to its host.
|
Movement: Taneia Sollium has no movement since it is in the stomach of humans and pig.
|
Reproduction:Adult worms are hermaphroditic with segments containing both male and female reproductive organs. Anterior segments are usually immature and broader than long, middle segments with fully developed genitalia are square, and posterior segments are gravid (filled with eggs) and longer than broad. Other Taenia spp form different larval stages..
