Hook Worm Male Female Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5212
The Hook Worm Male Female Model by Jaincolab is a comparative biology teaching model highlighting the anatomical differences between male and female adult hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus). Designed for zoology, parasitology and medical microbiology laboratories, this hookworm anatomy teaching model complements the study of the hookworm life cycle with a focus on adult worm morphology.
Adult hookworms show clear sexual dimorphism. The male is generally smaller and has a distinctive umbrella-shaped copulatory bursa at its posterior end, supported by fine rays, which is used to grasp the female during mating. The female is comparatively larger, with a straight, tapering posterior end and a vulval opening rather than a bursa. Both sexes possess a buccal capsule at the head end that attaches to the intestinal mucosa, allowing the worm to feed on host blood. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents these comparative features clearly for classroom study.
