Tapeworms have neither mouth nor digestive tract ... The scolex, or head, ... attaches by suckers or hooks to the inside of a human intestine, and there begins to bud off a long chain of segments, called proglottids (up to twenty or thirty feet worth in some cases, thus snugly filling the entire length of the intestine). The proglottids are reproductive factories; each may house up to 40,000 embryos. ... Proglottids may break off and exit the body in feces, all ready to be ingested and to start the grisly cycle again. 4, record 1, English, - proglottid
