Hookworm - Mouth of the Organism
This photograph shows the front section of the hookworm, and the mouth parts which it uses to feed. The chitinous plates, used to attach to the lining of the intestine where they suck blood for nourishment, are visible. Three species of hookworm cause infection in the United States, including this species, Necator americanus. (Courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control.)
