Biological life cycle

In biology, a biological life cycle (or just life cycle when the biological context is clear) is a series of changes in form that an organism undergoes, returning to the starting state.

Blood vessel

The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system, and microcirculation, that transports blood throughout the human body.

Bronchus

A bronchus, is a passage of airway in the respiratory system that conducts air into the lungs.

Egg

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own; at which point the animal hatches.

Feces

Feces (or faeces) are the solid or semisolid remains of the food that could not be digested in the small intestine.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Larva

A larva (plural: larvae) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults.

Lung

The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system in humans and many other animals including a few fish and some snails.

Lungworm

Lungworms are parasitic nematode worms of the order Strongylida that infest the lungs of vertebrates.

Lymph node

A lymph node or lymph gland is an ovoid or kidney-shaped organ of the lymphatic system, and of the adaptive immune system, that is widely present throughout the body.

Metastrongylosis

Metastrongylosis is one of the most common parasitic diseases affecting wild boars and pigs.

Microscope

A microscope (from the μικρός, mikrós, "small" and σκοπεῖν, skopeîn, "to look" or "see") is an instrument used to see objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

Nematode

The nematodes or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes).

Parasitic bronchitis

Parasitic bronchitis, also known as hoose, husk, or verminous bronchitis, is a disease of sheep, cattle, goats, and swine caused by the presence of various species of parasite, commonly known as lungworms, in the bronchial tubes or in the lungs.

Pig

A pig is any of the animals in the genus Sus, within the even-toed ungulate family Suidae.

Rhabditida

The Rhabditida are an order of free-living, zooparasitic and phytoparasitic microbivorous nematodes (roundworms) living in soil.

Strongylida

The Strongylida suborder includes many of the important nematodes found in the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants, horses, and swine, as well as the lungworms of ruminants and the hookworms of dogs and cats.
