Hello friends, welcome to zoology museum, Shri Shivaji Science College, Nagpur. I’m Ascaris, a parasitic roundworm. I live in the intestines of my host and absorb nutrients. My body is long and cylindrical, with no segmentation. I reproduce rapidly, laying thousands of eggs at a time. My eggs are tough and can survive outside the body. I cause infections in humans and animals. I have a simple digestive system but no respiratory organs. My cuticle protects me from digestive enzymes. I move by contracting my muscles in a wave-like motion. Thankyou visit again
