Description:

The ultrastructure of three types of unicellular scolex gland cells in adult cestode Bothriocephalus claviceps (Goeze, 1782) is described. The first type - apocrine gland cells transport their secretion (small rounded electron dense granules) via thin ducts into the tegument where it accumulates as projections on the body surface. The second type - eccrine gland cells press out their secretion (large oval electron dense granules) through ducts which open to the exterior surface of the tegument. The third type - microapocrine gland cells transport their secretion (large rounded electron dense granules) through thin cytoplasmic processes into the distal cytoplasm of the tegument. The secretory discharge occurs by means of évaginations of the outer tegumental plasmalemma and their subsequent detachment. The possible functions of the scolex gland cells are discussed.
