A fluke’s first intermediate host is a:

Which of the following cestodes is known as the “double-pored” or “cucumber seed” tapeworm of dogs and cats?

A patient experiences acute stress, triggering the release of epinephrine. Which of the following combinations of physiological effects is most directly associated with epinephrine’s role during the “fight or flight” response?  

During a neuromuscular lab experiment, a subject’s biceps brachii muscle is stimulated electrically at increasing frequencies. Initially, isolated twitches are observed. As the frequency increases, the twitches begin to summate, and partial relaxation between contractions becomes shorter. Eventually, the electrical stimuli become so rapid that no relaxation is observed at all between contractions. The muscle enters a state of sustained contraction with no visible fluctuation in force output.   Question: Which of the following best describes the muscle contraction observed when no relaxation occurs between stimuli and the muscle remains in a continuous, forceful contraction?  

Dirofilaria immitis uses the __ as its intermediate host.

Female worm being capable of producing viable ova without fertilization from a male worm are called:
