Figure 43: TEM of the tegument covering the scolex of Cysticercus pisiformis. Five to six-week-old tegument at the outer edge of the sucker showing a thick layer of vertically oriented tegument muscle fibers that are interrupted by packets of electron-lucent bodies (LB), large mitochondria (Mt), and electron-lucent vesicles (V). Tegument cells (TC) are seen within the vertical (VM) and circular (CM) muscle bundles.
