Hello, my friends! Hope everyone is having a good week and is doing good. Well... Me, I've been kinda busy lately, because I recently started my classes at the university, that's why I'm not posting as much as I used to. I'm a med student so I have to study all the time, I can barely spend a little time for me, but don't get me wrong! I love medicine, but that's not the main topic for this post at all.
Today I want to share with you some pictures of my parasitology practices at my university. Even though my university doesn't have enough money and the needed conditions to function at it's best, we still try to make it work because education is first, right?

At the first class we talk about the general characteristics of some parasites, so my teacher didn't explain much about each one of the parasites I'm gonna show you, he said we'll learn about it, one by one at each class.
So, here are some parasites:

This one is called Ascaris lumbricoides.

This is Taenia solium. Our teacher said the first one was extracted from a cow and the second one from a pig.

This little one, that you can barely see, is called Trichuris trichiura.
At my second practice of parasitology we observe some of this parasites throught the microscope, and let me tell you it was one of my favorites classes until now! You just got to see how amazing it looks, so here are some pictures:

This is a fertile egg of Ascaris lumbricoides. As you can see it has a round shape, that's one characteristic that shows is a fertile egg. You'll see the difference between the infertile one in a bit.
Alright, here we have an infertile egg of Ascaris lumbricoides. How do we know is not fertile? because of it's oval shape, that's the first characteristic that tell us is infertile.

This is a cross-section of a female species of Ascaris lumbricoides. The large hole in a oval shape is the digestive tube, it looks different between the male and the female.

And the last one is called Toxocara cati. This one is generally found in the cats, but sometimes can be found in the humans too, even though is a parasite from the cats, it can get complicated in the humans if it's not treated well. This one was actually found in a cross-section of the lungs, where you can see the larvaes as a red or pink circles.
Well, my friends, I hope you liked and enjoyed my post! I thought it was an interesting and amazing topic, and I really wanted to share this pictures with all of you. Greetings!

No entiendo mucho, lo que si es que la medicina y la rama en general es tan interesante y compleja que yo admiro a quienes se involucran con ella
Jajaja ¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! En medicina hay materias muy interesantes. Hasta ahora esta es mi segunda materia favorita en lo que llevo de carrera.
Hola!!! Me parecio mega interesante tu post. Yo estudio Medicina Veterinaria y el semestre que viene me toca ver parasito, me estas dando un preview antes de que vea la materia jajajaj
¡Hola bella! Jajaja me alegra que mi post te haya gustado y bueno, que también te haya servido como un adelanto a la materia. De mi parte te digo que hasta ahora me ha encantado parasitología. ¡Éxitos en la carrera, saludos!
Hello @gellyarenas: very interesting and didactic the subject that you just presented us, very clear and direct. We look forward to more information of this kind. Greetings.
Thank you so much! Greetings <3
I think this qualifies as the grossest post I've seen so far... but it's your field of study, so good job! Someone's gotta know about these things to keep the rest of us healthy. :-D
Hahaha oh, no! I didn't meant to make this post gross, it's just that I liked so much my parasitology classes that I found all of this things amazing, haha. Thanks for your comment @bananamemos, greetings!
That's what I mean, it's good that SOMEONE is studying this stuff, and better you than us. Bananas do NOT make very committed doctors; we like hanging around too much. :-D
