2州倍 Central South University Common Characteristics of tapeworm They are flat in cross section ·Hermaphroditic Live in the intestines Life cycles are complex and can include multiple intermediate hosts No mouth,no digestive system,have microthrix They have suckers and teeth that grasp the host. Behind a short neck are repeated parts of the worm,each containing reproductive structures with eggs and sperm, which can be released with the host's feces The pieces give the worm a ribbon-like structure, beneficial for absorbing nutrients from the intestine
