Detailed explanation-1: -Tapeworms do not have a digestive tract. Instead, they absorb their nutrients from the gut contents of the host directly through their outside surface, tegument. New proglottids are constantly formed in the neck of the worm and along the length of the tapeworm they mature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Like other parasites, the mature tapeworm can only survive inside the host animal, feeding off of the host’s own nutrients. The head attaches to the inside of your intestines and absorbs nutrients from the food digesting there.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conditions. Tapeworms generally inhabit the intestines of humans and animals. They have a series of hooks (or suckers) on one end that they use to attach to the intestine to get nourishment from the host.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tapeworms anchor themselves to the inside of the intestine of their host using their scolex, which typically has hooks, suckers, or both. They have no mouth, but absorb nutrients directly from the host’s gut.
Detailed explanation-5: -When the deerfly breaks a human’s skin to eat blood, the larvae enter the wound and begin moving through the person’s body. It takes about five months for larvae to become adult worms inside the human body. Larvae can become adults only inside the human body.
