Adhesive Pad
The surface of the adhesive pads of E. soleae is encompassed by tegument that contains perforations of numerous rod-carrying ducts through pepper-pot apertures and ducts of spheroidal secretory bodies. Rods are distributed uniformly and intensely electron-dense within their ducts. Spheroidal secretory bodeies are both tightly packed and has less electron density than rods. Moreover, the tegument on the surface of the parasite is isolated from the general tegumentary syncytium by a cell boundary. The tegument also contains secretory bodies.

Famous quotes containing the word pad:
“I have known the inexorable sadness of pencils,
Neat in their boxes, dolor of pad and paper-weight,
All the misery of manilla folders and mucilage,
Desolation in immaculate public places,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
