What type of symmetry is seen in the roundworm? Does it exhibit cephalization? Ascaris is a parasite that swims constantly in human intestines. What structure protects the nematode from being digested? View the Trichinella slide. Trichinella is also a parasite. It can infect humans as well as other mammals like pigs, bears, and rodents. If untreated, it can lead to death.What mammal tissue does this roundworm infect?Draw a picture below of the Trichinella as viewed under the microscope.
