What's the difference between proglottid and proglottis?
Proglottid
Definition:
(n.) Proglottis.
Example Sentences:

(4) Gravid proglottids passed through the intestine without being digested.
(5) The new species is characterized by davaineidlike rostellar hooks, absence of a rostellar pouch, a huge cirrus pouch in gravid proglottids, a bilobed uterus that becomes progressively reticular, absence of a paruterine organ, and eggs with an internal coat forming a crescentic protuberance outside the embryophore.
(6) Egg numbers at the transition points approximate the genuine egg production, because in situ egg discharge mostly occurs only after the proglottids have passed the transition point.
(7) Immunodiagnostic tests for Taenia-specific faecal antigen based on polyclonal rabbit antisera against Taenia saginata or Taenia solium proglottid extracts in capture-type ELISA assays have been developed.
(8) It was most similar to R. spinicephalum Campbell 1970 but differed by having fewer proglottids (15 to 26 vs. 36 to 49), smaller peduncle (110 to 146 vs. 330 to 470) and pedicels (100 to 180 vs. 170 to 370), fewer transverse septa (6 to 8 vs. 16 to 17), fewer total loculi per bothridium (22 to 30 vs. 32 to 34) and larger ovarian lobes (148 to 310 vs. 88 to 176).
(9) The level was highest in immature proglottides and lowest in gravid proglottides.
(10) 22 antigenic components of Taenia saginata proglottides were detected by immunoelectrophoretic (IEP) study.
(11) fat globules are first seen to accumulate in the last 2-3 proglottids.
(12) They can be facultative carriers of adult E. multilocularis and are thus able to excrete eggs or proglottids of the tapeworm.
(13) Intact proglottids were recovered from the intestine and faeces of infected sheep.
(14) The number of proglottids shed per day by each strobila was about 1.
(15) In the strobila the multipolar cell bodies were situated laterodorsal and lateroventral to the longitudinal nerve cords, from which neurites were directed to the contralateral and ipsilateral nerve cord to form up to three transverse commissures per proglottid.
(16) The diagnosis is based on the identification of proglottids, which shows the typical characteristics of this cestode.
(17) There were seven antigenic components found in the saline extract of the oncospheres, of which six were shared with the metacestodes and proglottids.
(18) with the inter-proglottid membranes absent or poorly defined, or (b) became vesicular or abnormal.
(19) Nine percent of these remain in proglottids 15 minutes after release from a dog and the released eggs lose their viability in less than two, 48 and 300 hours in the sun, huts and water in Turkana respectively: the major influencing factor being temperature.
(20) Hyperapolysis may be part of a transmission strategy used by the Tetraphyllidea, Trypanorhyncha, and Lecanicephalidea to increase proglottid production.
Proglottis
Definition:
(n.) One of the free, or nearly free, segments of a tapeworm. It contains both male and female reproductive organs, and is capable of a brief independent existence.
Example Sentences:
(1) The nerve cords run posteriorly throughout the bodies of the plerocercoid and adult worms and the free proglottis.
(2) The first involved proglottides immediately posterior to the point of proglottis formation and proglottides at particular stages of development.
(3) An investigation into the reliability of various morphological criteria in differentiating species of Taenia in Australia showed that both the anatomy of the mature proglottis and the gross morphology of the worms were reliable methods if suitably relaxed anf fixed specimens were available.
(4) The more anterior the position of the proglottis, the greater was the width at the time of proglottis formation, and so its growth began later on the common growth curve.
(5) The cholinergic nervous system predominates in the CNS within the scolex, whereas there is a larger population of 5-HT-immunoreactive nerve cells associated with the LNC's and segmental ganglia along the strobila and within the free proglottis.
(6) The localisation and distribution of the cholinergic and serotoninergic components of the nervous system in the plerocercoid, adult and free proglottis stages of the tetraphyllidean tapeworm Trilocularia acanthiavulgaris were determined by enzyme histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques.
(7) Worm size, determined by wet weight, total length and proglottis number, correlated inversely with worm burden, suggesting they were affected by the crowding effect.
(8) In the PNS, nerve fibres immunoreactive to PP occur in the bothridia, whilst in the free proglottis nerve fibres immunoreactive to PYY and VIP innervate the gonads; VIP-immunoreactive nerve elements also supply the reproductive ducts.
(9) Extra-neuronal sitings of peptide immunoreactivities were evident for PHI, in association with the excretory system, and for SRIF, in presumed tegumental cell bodies in the free proglottis.
(10) The localization and distribution of seven neuropeptides in the nervous system of the plerocercoid, adult and free proglottis stages of the tetraphyllidean tapeworm Trilocularia acanthiaevulgaris have been determined by an indirect immunofluorescence technique.
(11) As the individual proglottides develop along the strobila, a small nerve ring forms at the anterior end of each proglottis; within the nerve ring, distinct bilateral ganglia develop prior to the release of the proglottis.
(12) Growth in length of the 20th proglottis was at first faster than the 100th and 200th proglottides, but later slowed down to a level comparable with them, and the growth curves for the length of the three proglottides were very similar to each other.
(13) The length of newly-formed proglottides varied only slightly with time despite differences in the width and in the 3-fold increase in proglottis production that occurs between days 3 and 8 post-infection.
