This slide shows the cysticercus larva of the tapeworm Taenia pisiformis.  Note the invaginated scolex on the right end of this "bladder worm".  After infected tissue of the intermediate host is eaten by the definitive host, the scolex everts and attaches to the lining of the intestine by means of hooks and suckers.
