Sentences with PROGLOTTIS (5)
Van Beneden’s terminology for these stages is the following: Ciliated embryo = protoscolex; scyphistoma = deutoscolex (or scolex); free Ephyrula = proglottis.
The posterior border of the segments, as a rule, carries a longitudinal groove for the reception of the shorter anterior border of the following proglottis.
The first proglottis formed, and which in a complete tapeworm [_i.e._, sexually complete] is the most posterior, is as a rule smaller and of different shape, it also frequently remains sterile, as likewise happens in the next (younger) segments in a few species; otherwise, however, sooner or later the generative organs develop in all the segments, mostly singly, sometimes in pairs; in the latter case they may be quite distinct from each other or possess some parts in common.
The ovaries, usually two in number, are compound tubular glands in the posterior half of the proglottis, which extend into the medullary layer, but ventral to the median plane.
Scolex egg-shaped; dorsal and ventral bothria elongated, moderately strong, cutting rather deeply into the head; genitalia single in each proglottis; papillæ in the vicinity of the genital atrium; the testes and vitellaria are in the lateral fields, the former in the medullary layer, the latter in the cortical layer on both surfaces, and occasionally extending to the median line; the ovary ventral, the shell gland dorsal.
