The head holds fast to the intestinal wall with its suckers and hooks ; by strobilation (transverse division) it gives rise to the segments, which as we have already seen, together with the head, go to make up the adult tapew^orm. Kepro- ductive organs of both sexes develop in the separate segments, and eggs are produced, within which are developed the six-hooked embryos, the point from which we started.
