Questions: 31) The term tapeworm literally means: narrow banded worm segmented parasite parasitic worm long host 32) What is the broad, fan-shaped peritoneum fold that suspends and encircles the jejunum and ileum to the dorsal wall of the abdomen? ileum mesentery sigmoid colon

31. The answer is the first one: narrow banded worm.

Explanation:

• Narrow banded worm: This is the correct answer. The term "tapeworm" comes from the appearance of the worm, which is long and flat, resembling a narrow band or tape.
• Segmented parasite: While tapeworms are indeed segmented parasites, this is not the literal meaning of the term "tapeworm."
• Parasitic worm: Although tapeworms are parasitic worms, this option does not capture the literal meaning of the term.
• Long host: This option is incorrect as it does not relate to the meaning of "tapeworm."

32. The answer is the second one: mesentery.

Explanation:

• Ileum: This is a part of the small intestine, not the peritoneum fold that suspends and encircles the jejunum and ileum.
• Mesentery: This is the correct answer. The mesentery is a broad, fan-shaped fold of the peritoneum that suspends and encircles the jejunum and ileum to the dorsal wall of the abdomen.
• Sigmoid colon: This is a part of the large intestine and not related to the peritoneum fold described in the question.
