Summary Introduction
To write:
The ability of adult worm of few mm long to get fit through the capillaries.
Introduction:
Nematodes include roundworms and develop a diverse group of worms. Filariae are called the nematodes or roundworms. They are vectorated by the arthropods, mature and mate in specific host tissues and produce micro filariae. They are found in ranging from terrestrial to marine environments.

do any nematodes have similar adaptations due to their needs being met by their hosts? I know that nematodes are parasitic and not mutually beneficial, but they are still symbionts and perhaps have evolved to no longer require some components of basic anatomy in result of their needs being met by their host. please cite sources

Ascaris is a parasite that swims constantly in human intestines. What structure protects the nematode from being digested?
View the Trichinella slide. Trichinella is also a parasite. It can infect humans as well as other mammals like pigs, bears, and rodents. If untreated, it can lead to death.What mammal tissue does this roundworm infect?Draw a picture below of the Trichinella as viewed under the microscope.
