Document Summary

1: male, female - eggshell formation, circumesophageal commissure, rectal commissure, ventral longitudinal nerve, sense organs, neurotransmission, piperazine, ivermectin, pyrantel, albendazole and mebendazole, body wall, digestive tract, pseudocoel, kingdom animalia, general morphology, environments, introduction. Life cycle of egg transmission: morphology, route of infection, direct life cycle, embryonation, molting. Outside, covers the entire body surface and lines any openings. Not present in all species, size and shape vary and some have teeth or cutting plates. Between the body wall and the digestive tract. Transports solutes and acts as a structural system, a hydrostatic skeleton for structure and movement. Explain how the hydrostatic skeleton functions in nematode locomotion. Depends on the coordination between the cuticle, muscles and hemolymph. Muscles on one side of the nematode contract and compresses the cuticle to that side. The forced of contraction transmits the fluid to the other side of the body and the muscles on the other side stretch.
