The organisation of five species of cyclophyllidean cestodes (Hymenolepis nana, H. diminuta, H. microstoma, Taenia (Hydatigera) taeniaeformis, Echinococcus multilocularis) has been studied using light and electron microscopy (SEM, TEM). It was found that there is no indication of any internal structure separating the proglottids, which are recognisable superficially. Thus in cestodes there is no metameric segmentation as in annelids. The implications of these findings on the terminology of tapeworm morphology are critically discussed.
利用光学显微镜以及电子显微镜（扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜）对五种圆叶目绦虫（微小膜壳绦虫、缩小膜壳绦虫、微小膜壳绦虫、豆状带绦虫（泡状带绦虫）、多房棘球绦虫）的组织结构进行了研究。研究发现，在表面可识别的节片中，没有任何内部结构分隔的迹象。因此，绦虫不像环节动物那样具有分节现象。对这些发现对绦虫形态学术语的影响进行了批判性讨论。
