In perhaps the majority of the Protozoa the fundamental vital activities are performed, as in the simpler Ameba or simple flagellates, by the protoplasm as a whole and without other visible specializations than nucleus and cell body. In other forms, Mac. Fig. 2.—Diplodinium ecaudatum, a parasitic ciliate in cattle. A, anal canal and defecatory vacuole; C.

(After Sharp.) however, intracellular differentiations lead to intracellular division of labor which in some types becomes as complicated as are many of the organisms belonging to the Metazoa. Thus Diplodinium ecaudatum, one of the Infusoria, according to Sharp (1914), has intracellular differentiations of extraordinary complexity (Fig. 2)..
