Figure 36: TEM of tegument covering invagination canal of Cysticercus pisiformis. Five to six-week-old tegument showing deep notches alternating with plateau-like areas. The apical plasma membrane (AP) carries microtriches (M) followed by dense distal cytoplasm (DDC), underlined by lucent basal lamina (BL). Tegumental cells (TC) are connected to distal cytoplasm by cytoplasmic extensions (CE) separated by tegumental muscle bundles.
